In a big blow to the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), its national vice president Mukul Roy has returned to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Friday (June 11). He had joined the BJP in November 2017.
In a press conference today, CM Mamata Banerjee said, "Mukul Roy is our son, he has returned home." CM Banerjee, who was present at the Trinamool Bhavan during the meeting to induct Roy back into the party fold, said that more people will come out of the BJP and join the Trinamool Congress.
Roy and his son Subhrangshu Roy were greeted back into the Trinamool by its all-India General Secretary, Abhishek Banerjee.
"Mukul (Roy) is our old member and he has come back. He was not in a good condition in the BJP because the saffron party created pressure on him through agencies, as a result, he was not in mental peace. I was watching that his health condition had also deteriorated because one cannot stay in the BJP. It is a heartless party and no human being can stay there," CM Mamata Banerjee said.
Roy, who had left Trinamool Congress in 2017, said, "I am having a nice feeling for being among familiar people again. This has a kind of homely atmosphere. I am confident that West Bengal will again reach the top under the leadership of our leader and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee."
When asked what made him return to the Trinamool, the former all-India General Secretary of the party said, "I shall not work for the BJP again, so I have come back here." Denying having any difference with Roy even when he was in the BJP, Mamata Banerjee said, "Even when he was in the BJP, he never said anything against me or the party. He has always been good with our party leaders. Even during the elections, he was quiet about our party."
Hinting that more people from the BJP are likely to join the Trinamool, the Chief Minister said, "Trinamool will welcome everybody who is sober and gentle. But there are some people who betrayed the party before the elections and badmouthed the Trinamool leaders. They are betrayers, and the party will never accept them."
