Senior Trinamool Congress leader Mukul Roy quits party
Monday, September 25, 2017 IST
Senior Trinamool Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Mukul Roy announced his resignation from the party on Monday after months of being sidelined by chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
Roy, the party’s former all-India general secretary and Banerjee’s aide, said he resigned from the Trinamool Congress working committee and would quit the Upper House and party primary membership after Durga Puja, which ends on September 30.
“I will do pujo for five days…will decide on future plans after that,” he told reporters.
Roy was removed from the position of party general secretary in 2015 after his name came under the CBI scanner in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund case. He was further sidelined after reports of his hobnobbing with BJP leaders reached Mamata Banerjee.
