In expansion mode ever since it fought off the BJP assault in the April-May Bengal Assembly elections, the Trinamool Congress today made three new additions to the party from across the country. Kirti Azad, former Team India batsman who changed teams from BJP to the Congress in 2019, has now signed up with Mamta Banerjee. So has Ashok Tanwar, formerly a Rahul Gandhi aide. Pawan Verma, the Rajya Sabha MP for Janata Dal United from Bihar, who fell out with party chief and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, also joined the party today.
