A day after Mukul Roy joined the Trinamool Congress along with his son Subhrangshu Roy, speculations about the return of several such turncoats were rife in the political circles, after BJP's Rajib Banerjee arrived at Trinamool Congress state secretary Kunal Ghosh's residence on Saturday. Both Rajib Banerjee and Kunal Ghosh said it was a courtesy meeting and there was no politics in it. If the party welcomes Rajib Banerjee, the decision may not go down well with the party workers in Howrah, from where Banerjee unsuccessfully contest in the assembly election. Another name doing the rounds is that of BJP leader Sabyasachi Dutta who dismissed the speculations. Welcoming Mukul Roy back in the party, party chief and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Friday said more people will come back to TMC.
