In a significant political development in West Bengal, senior TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar attended an administrative review meeting led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari of the BJP. Her presence, alongside six other TMC MLAs, has sparked discussions on potential shifts within regional politics.

Having recently resigned from her role as TMC's Barasat organisational president, Ghosh Dastidar's attendance at a BJP platform is viewed as a reflection of internal dissent and changing dynamics within her party. The meeting, held at Kalyani's APJ Abdul Kalam Auditorium, was attended by officials from various districts, underscoring administrative and political implications.

This participation signals a potential departure from the usual partisan divide in the state, with political observers noting the event's significance in showcasing evolving relationships between political parties. Chief Minister Adhikari emphasized the inclusivity of opposition parties in such gatherings, a contrast to past practices.
