Cricketer Manoj Tiwary Likely To Join TMC in 24 Feb Mamata Rally

The cricketer is being considered for a party ticket from Howrah district in the upcoming Bengal elections.

Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary will join the Trinamool Congress at West Bengal Chief Minister and party chief Mamata Banerjee's rally, in Hooghly district's Chinsurah, on Wednesday 24 February, sources in the party told The Quint.

Along with Tiwary, some members of the Congress, BJP and other "eminent personalities" are also expected to join the party at the rally. Banerjee's rally will be held in the same ground where Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting on 22 February. The TMC rally is being seen as a counter to Modi's.
