107 Bengal MLAs set to join BJP, says Mukul Roy


Kolkata, Jul 13 (IANS): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukul Roy here on Saturday claimed that 107 West Bengal MLAs from the CPI-M, the Congress and state's ruling Trinamool Congress would join the party.

"At least 107 West Bengal MLAs from the CPI-M, the Congress and the TMC will join the BJP. We have their list prepared and they are in contact with us," Roy said at a press conference.

He, however, did not divulge details regarding time of defection or names of the lawmakers.

Following the 2019 Lok Sabha poll results, which saw the BJP making deep inroads in West Bengal, five Trinamool Congress MLAs, including Mukul's son Subhrangshu Roy (Bijpur MLA), and over 60 councillors have joined the BJP.

The four other Trinamool Congress MLAs are Sunil Singh from Noapara, Biswajit Das from Bongaon, Manirul Islam from Labhpur and Wilson Champramary from Kalchini Assembly constituencies.

Two more MLAs -- Tusharkanti Bhattacharya of the Congress and Debendra Nath Roy of the CPI-M -- have also defected to the BJP.

    The present political system needs change. we are leading to a disastrous system.we have to come out attachment to caste, party,creed, religion and leader. The voters must send these legislatures or parliamentiarins to permanent rest.whatever law they make will not be beneficial to the society. We must come out from anger towards corruption and also emotion. These people are not punished by any party. They are honoured by other party
    Because of this anger and emotion AAP was elected. After election he became politician. We have very good dedicated people,our country fought independent with out weapon. I humbly requesting the charismatic people come out to front take lead and guide to save India. People desperately waiting for such leaders. As on date we we don't have alternative system. So the present crisis.let us remind glory of great history and culture.

    Last week, Punjab Nation Bank reported another fraud worth Rs 3,805.15 crore by Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd to the RBI.
    After Punjab National Bank, Allahabad Bank on Saturday said that it has been defrauded by Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd (BPSL) to the tune of Rs 1,774.82 crore.

    So no wonder how BJP has so much money to buy all the opposition in every state of India.
