After TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay met with BJP leader and Union Minister Bhupender Yadav, TMC MP Mahua Moitra said, "His mask & his wig both come off." "He told us he's in Apollo, Kolkata...with tummy bug when we suddenly saw him on TV at Bhupender's home," she added. Sudip reportedly signed letter seeking recognition of a separate bloc within TMC.
