Today’s results undoubtedly a big achievement for the BJP and celebrations justified in the Saffron camp but for Mukul Roy it’s a question of retaining his lost dignity. Roy, once a close confidant of Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee and founder member of the party had walked out of to join BJP after Banerjee had unceremoniously ripped off General Secretary post from him to accamodate her nephew Abhishek Banerjee. Rest is history.
This election was like a litmus test for Mukul Roy who had assured Modi and Amit Shah of BJP winning a considerable number of seats. Roy has not only kept his word but also passed with full distinction. Mamata Banerjee must be cursing her stars for kicking out Roy.
