TMC leader Mukul Roy in Delhi amid buzz on joining BJP; son claims he is missing

Hindustan Times  

Speculations are rife in West Bengal that Mukul Roy, one of the founding members of the Trinamool Congress, is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party once again after he was spotted in Delhi on Monday night, hours after his son and TMC leader Subhranshu lodged a complaint with the Bidhannagar police claiming that his father was ‘missing’. The rumours of Roy joining the BJP were fuelled by a social media post by Anupam Hazra, BJP’s national general secretary and a former member of Parliament, who wrote “the return” on Tuesday. Subhranshu told the media on Tuesday morning that “dirty politics” was being played with his ailing father and efforts were on to malign Abhishek Banerjee, TMC’s national general secretary and chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew. Roy joined the BJP in 2017 after he was named as an accused in the Narada sting operation case and his fallout with chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
