Mukul Joins BJP, Indifferent TMC Says “He Lacks Mass Base”

The rouge TMC leader quit the party and his Rajya Sabha post last month.

The Trinamool Congress leadership refused to attach any importance to the recent induction of Mukul Roy into the BJP, only saying that he was a "traitor" with no popularity among the masses.

Senior TMC leader and Mayor of Kolkata Municipal Corporation Sovan Chatterjee said the party was not at all bothered about Roy.

Do not have time to think about a person who does not have any mass base of his own. We have lot of work at hand and that needs to be done at the earliest.
