Why does BJP appear reluctant to induct TMC rebels?

BJP is not keen on inducting 20 rebel TMC MPs, who have joined NCPI to back NDA, as its West Bengal unit feels voters backed BJP for 'parivartan', a senior party leader said. The leader added that BJP is proceeding cautiously after inducting several TMC leaders ahead of 2021 Assembly polls, a move many believe contributed to its lower-than-expected tally.
