The most recent manifestation of Roy's strained relationship with the BJP is when he was conspicuously absent from a meeting between West Bengal BJP leaders and the party's central leadership in Delhi this week.

BJP sources say that while Roy is looking to be rewarded for his performance, the party might just not have any use for him anymore.
