Soon after a cryptic message on Trinamool Congress MP and former actor Satabdi Roy's unofficial fan page triggered speculation of her defecting, she clarified on Friday, 15 January, that she will be staying with the party.
According to reports, Roy met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee on Friday. "I had expressed my problems and our party leader Abhishek Banerjee has assured me that my grievances will be addressed and they’ll work on finding a solution. So, I’m staying with the Trinamool Congress,” she said, while speaking to reporters.
Speaking to news agency ANI, the Birbhum MP also said that she would not be going to Delhi on Saturday. "All those in the party who have problems should raise them. If 10 people in the party raise a problem, then the party should solve it," she was further quoted as saying.
