Mukul Roy after joining TMC
NEW DELHI: BJP national vice president Mukul Roy’s return to Trinamool Congress evoked mixed reactions from the saffron brigade on Friday. While some senior leaders chose to ignore the blow on the party, there were those who called him a traitor.
Roy who was a close aide of West Bengal chief minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee, till he left and joined BJP in 2017, may have been a prized catch by BJP central leadership which was trying hard to establish the spread of party in the state. But, the state unit of the party had not really welcomed him with open arms as they were sidelined to some extent by the central leaders, who needed to break into TMC bastion with the help of Roy’s acumen and grip on the ground. There were many who had been unhappy and apprehensive about his entry into BJP as Roy was the main target for BJP to malign TMC for corruption for his links to the Sharada and Narada scams.
