"The politics of luring away MLAs by dangling promises of ministerial berths was not present in this state. This will boomerang on them (TMC)," WBPCC President Pradip Bhattacharya said.
His statement came in the backdrop of the decision by two Congress MLAs, Humanyun Kabir and Krishnendu Narayan Chowdhury, to join TMC.
Bhattacharya said the Trinamool Congress was trying to break up the Congress in West Bengal.
Humayun Kabir, an MLA from Rejinagar in Murshidabad district, had said yesterday that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had promised him a ministerial berth in a Cabinet reshuffle expected to be held on November 20.
He had said that he would join the TMC on November 20 after resigning from the Congress and contest an election from Reginagar on a TMC ticket.
Krishnendu Narayan Chowdhury, a Congress MLA from Malda district had also announced that he would join the TMC on November 20, but on the possibility of his induction in the ministry said that it was the chief minister's prerogative.
