Mukul Roy, the former Trinamul Congress Number 2 and currently a BJP national vice-president, was up for a surprise when Union home minister Amit Shah asked him to fight the 2021 Bengal Assembly polls as a candidate. “ Mukulda na korey diten, kintu Amitji bollen tumko ladna hi hoga. Dada aar na kortey parenni. (Mukulda would’ve declined the offer, but Amitji said you’ll have to contest. Dada couldn’t turn it down,” a close aide to Roy said. Twenty years back, in 2001, Roy had fought elections for the first time on a Trinamul Congress ticket from the Jagatdal Assembly seat. He was defeated by Forward Bloc’s Haripada Biswas by a margin of 13,402 votes. That was the only time Roy was fielded as a candidate in his four-decade-long political career.
