TMC Appoints Yashwant Sinha As Party Vice President
The Trinamool Congress has appointed former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha as its vice president and member of the TMC national working committee, two days after joining the party. Sinha, former union minister under Atal Bihari Vajpayee regime, said the recent attack on CM Mamata Banerjee lured him back into active politics. Saying that "democracy was in peril in the country", he added it was necessary to make sure that the TMC wins the assembly polls.
