A day after skipping the first meeting of the newly elected BJP MLAs of the West Bengal Assembly, Mukul Roy on Saturday took to social media clarifying his steadfast political stand. Concoctions and conjectures (of Mukul Roy attempting to come back to the Trinamool Congress) can be put to rest, he said. Reacting to the assertion of his commitment to the party, BJP president JP Nadda said Mukul Roy's statement is an example for all BJP workers. The speculation of Mukul Roy engaging in parleys with Trinamool leaders got triggered after Roy reportedly exchanged pleasantries with Trinamool's Subrata Bakshi. Mukul Roy, though considered a tall leader of the BJP in Bengal, has so far not commented on BJP's performance in the Assembly election.
