New Delhi [India], November 27 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya has said that if Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Suvendu Adhikari comes to the BJP, he would be welcomed in the party.

Ahead of Assembly election 2021 in West Bengal, Adhikari resigned as minister in the state government.

"Suvendu was upset with Mamata Banerjee's arrogance and corruption. If Suvendu ji comes to BJP he will be welcomed. Many leaders from TMC will join BJP, we are in touch with few of them," Vijayvargiya told ANI on Friday.

West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar accepted the resignation of Suvendu Adhikari from the post of State Transport Minister on Friday.

West Bengal Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in 2021. With 294 seats, a keen contest awaits the state as the BJP tries to wrest power from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress. (ANI)

LG Energy Solution to license out battery patents to block tech infringement, exec says
LG Energy Solution said on Wednesday it would launch a new business model of licensing out its battery technologies next month, as infringements of the South Korean company's patents surge with competition to supply electric vehicle makers. LGES, the world's second-largest EV battery producer after China's CATL, will also consider issuing warning notices or suing those it suspects are infringing its patents, Lee Han Sun, head of LGES' intellectual property center, said in an interview. "Over the past two or three years, myriads of latecomers have sprung up in the EV battery sector globally, resulting in the spread of a price war and patent infringements," Lee said.
