From Trinamool Founding Member To BJP MLA: All About Mukul Roy

Mukul Roy, a prominent political figure in West Bengal, has made headlines with his transition from a founding member of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) to a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Initially viewed as a key strategist and close ally of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Roy played an instrumental role in establishing the AITC as a formidable force against the Left Front in the state. However, political dynamics shifted, leading to his departure from the party in 2021. His move to the BJP reflects the changing political landscape in West Bengal, where the BJP has sought to expand its influence in a region traditionally dominated by the AITC. Roy's journey underscores the complexities of Indian politics, highlighting issues of loyalty, ideological shifts, and the quest for political power amid evolving voter sentiments. As he continues to navigate his new role within the BJP, observers are keenly watching how his experience and connections will influence the party's strategies in West Bengal's turbulent political arena.
