Veteran TMC leader Mukul Roy, who kept the political pundits guessing over his next move, on Tuesday night said he is still a BJP legislator and would like to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah as he is keen on returning to the saffron camp.
Speaker Biman Banerjee had ruled that Roy was a Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) MLA though it is Adhikari's and BJP's case that he defected to Trinamool Congress (TMC) after the results of the 2021 elections were announced.
Roy, the former second-in-command of the TMC who joined the saffron party in November 2017, has been distancing himself from the BJP for the past several days.
