Popular Bengali film actress Parno Mittra joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) here on Friday. Mittra joined the TMC at the party headquarters here in the presence of senior leaders, including state minister Chandrima Bhattacharya. ADVERTISEMENTThe actress said she joined the TMC to "correct my error". Mittra had joined the BJP in July 2019 and was the saffron party candidate from the Baranagar Assembly constituency in 2021. Tapas Roy, who defeated Mittra in the 2021 Assembly elections, quit the TMC to join the BJP in early 2024.
