Mukul Roy quashes rumours of him returning to TMC, says he's a loyal BJP soldier

Mukul Roy said he is a "loyal" BJP soldier and his fight would continue to "restore democracy" in West Bengal.

Ever since result of the West Bengal Assembly election was declared on May 2, there have been speculation that some former Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders, who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the polls, are likely to return to Mamata Banerjee's party. My fight would continue as a soldier of BJP to restore democracy in our state. I would request everyone to put the concoctions and conjectures to rest. I am resolute in my political path. Prominent among the TMC leaders who joined BJP is Mukul Roy -- a former TMC heavyweight. After he switched sides, Roy was made BJP's national vice-president and was a key member in its election planning for Bengal.
