Former Bengal Captain and India-capped player Manoj Tiwary opens up about the Trinamool Congress’s corruption. He joined the Trinamool Congress before the 2021 assembly election, fought in the February 2021 election, and won the Shibpur assembly constituency. He defeated BJP candidate Rathin Chakrabarty by a margin of 32,603 votes. Following his victory, he served as the Minister of State for Sports and Youth Affairs in the third Mamata Banerjee ministry.
As the BJP is now ready to form a government in West Bengal for the first time in history, Manoj Tiwary exposed Arup Biswas and Mamata Banerjee. Sharing a Facebook video, he said he did not get any chance to help the sports affinity because of the obstacle created by Aroop Biswas, the former minister of Sports of West Bengal.
