News Desk: Days after BJP MLA Soumen Roy rejoined the Trinamool Congress, party veteran Mukul Roy on Monday claimed that more MLAs are likely to quit the saffron party and join the TMC.
“24 MLAs are in touch with me to work under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership. Many more will join TMC. There is a huge line which is ready to join” said Mukul Roy.
The connection between Mukul Roy and BJP MPs
In June, Mukul Roy, who was a BJP MLA and national vice-president, returned to the TMC, four years after he left the Mamata Banerjee-led party to join the saffron camp.
In the last four weeks, four BJP MLAs, including Soumen Roy, Biswajit Das and Tanmoy Ghosh, have switched to the TMC.
Interestingly, all are known to be close to Mukul Roy and had joined the BJP in the run up to the 2021 elections holding Mukul Roy’s hand.
