Veteran TMC leader Mukul Roy, who has expressed his desire to work for the BJP in future, on Wednesday said there is no question of resigning from the TMC as he was never “mentally” with the party even after rejoining it in 2021.

The founding member of the TMC switched to the BJP in 2017. He won as a BJP candidate in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly polls. However, he soon returned to the TMC. He did not resign from the House and is technically still a BJP MLA. In an interview with PTI from New Delhi, Roy said, “I am absolutely fit and fine. Some people are spreading rumours that I am unwell, but that’s not true. I am a BJP MLA and have come here to be with the party. I want to work for my party BJP.”
