# Traitor posters target Partha Bhowmik after Modi meeting 2026-08-07T23:02:20+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Posters calling former Trinamool Congress MP Partha Bhowmik a “traitor” appeared across Barrackpur hours after he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president Nitin Nabin in Delhi. The posters carried his photograph and were signed in the name of the “Citizens of Barrackpur Lok Sabha Constituency”. Bhowmik won Barrackpur for the Trinamool Congress in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, after serving as a three-time MLA from Naihati. He quit the party after its setback in the 2026 elections, joined the newly formed Nationalist Citizen Party of India and backed the BJP. Trinamool leader Amit Gupta said voters felt betrayed, while BJP leader Priyangu Pandey criticised anonymous poster campaigns and asked those responsible to come forward. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Tags: Barrackpur, BJP, Partha Bhowmik, Trinamool Congress, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/traitor-posters-target-partha-bhowmik-after-modi-meeting/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
