"Even If They Slit My Throat...": Abhishek Banerjee On BJP Switch Rumours
Will Abhishek Banerjee - the nephew of Trinamool boss and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and her right-hand man - join the BJP months before the 2026 Assembly election? Not even if one were to "slit my neck", the Lok Sabha MP declared Thursday. "People are spreading rumours that Abhishek Banerjee will go to BJP... I am not beimaan (traitor). Those who say I am crossing to the BJP... even if they slit my throat, I will continue to raise the 'Mamata Banerjee zindabad' slogan from my severed windpipe," he raged.
