Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Shatrughan Sinha has put an end to the talks of separation from the party. He said on Thursday that Mamata Banerjee supported me in trouble, I will not leave her. Speaking to news agency PTI, the TMC MP said, 'There has been a lot of speculation about me for the last few days. Some people are telling the truth, while some are spreading rumours. Some people have claimed that I have joined the so-called rebel group. Yes, I have always been outspoken by nature. I often say that if speaking the truth is rebellion, then I am also a rebel. I want to say clearly that Mamta ji stood with me in difficult times and today in her difficult times, I cannot leave her alone.
Shatrughan Sinha said, I want to thank the people of Asansol and West Bengal for giving me so much love, respect and support and ensuring my victory again and again. I came to Asansol for the first time on the invitation and insistence of Didi (Mamata Banerjee). In my very first election there, I won by a record margin. Later, I won for the second time also by a bigger margin. Therefore, I especially want to thank Mamata ji, Trinamool Congress and above all the people of Asansol and West Bengal.
He further said that I want to make it clear that I have always worked for everyone in Bengal, no matter which party they belong to or whether they voted for me or not. I understand my responsibilities and will continue to fulfill them. Mamta Banerjee was one of the few people who supported me and encouraged me. He believed that I should remain in public life without any interruption in my parliamentary journey and on his advice I contested the elections from Asansol. By the grace of God and the support of Mamata ji and the people of Asansol, I won.

Wishing you a long, healthy and happy life. Jai Hind.
