RS MP Dinesh Trivedi flees from Didi's nest

Trivedi began his political career with the Congress which he joined in the 1980s but quit on the Bofors purchase issue and joined the Janata Dal to be with V P Singh.

Trivedi’s resignation comes just months before the assembly elections in West Bengal, which have seen a number of high -profile defections from the TMC to the BJP, including Suvendu Adhikari and Rajib Banerjee.
