“Now there are only opportunist and tainted people on the top. There was no respect in the BJP for me,” Sujata Mondal Khan was quoted as saying on her reasons to quit the party.
Sujata Mondal Khan also took a dig at the BJP, saying, “I don’t understand what kind of soap is it that is used to purifying the tainted leaders.” “I had fought for BJP and my husband [Saumitra Khan]…we got them [BJP and Saumitra Khan] a victory in the Lok Sabha polls. I think they have only been opportunists.”
Saumitra Khan blamed the Trinamool Congress for breaking his family. He also said his wife was respected as a BJP MP’s wife.
“You were respected as a BJP MP’s wife. TMC can break families…You [Sujata Mondal Khan] have got me votes and are a part of my victory. but I now release her from my name and surname,” an emotional Saumitra Khan said and went on to add: “Those who broke our house…we will not forgive them,” he was quoted as saying.
