The BJP is likely to induct former Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mukul Roy into the party by the first week of November, a senior BJP leader has said. The announcement of his joining the party is expected to be made after BJP general secretary and West Bengal in-charge, Kailash Vijayvargiya meets party president Amit Shah this week, BJP party sources said. "If everything goes well, Mukul Roy will join our party within the first week of November. His joining can take place either in Kolkata or in New Delhi," a senior BJP leader, who is privy to the developments, told PTI on condition of anonymity.
