Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday expressed deep sorrow over the passing of former union Minister Mukul Roy, remembering him as a committed political leader with strong organisational abilities and deep grassroots connect.
In a message shared on social media platform X, the Prime Minister extended his condolences to Roy’s family and well-wishers.
A key architect of Trinamool’s rise and later a pivotal BJP strategist in Bengal, Mukul Roy’s political journey saw dramatic shifts before his death at 71.
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed a recent judgment of the Calcutta High Court which had disqualified the lawmaker Mukul Roy from the membership of the West Bengal State Legislative Assembly on the ground that he had defected from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to the ruling All India Trinamul Congress (TMC) in 2021.
The West Bengal Assembly secretariat has begun exploring legal options to challenge last week’s Calcutta High Court Division Bench ruling that struck down the Assembly membership of Mukul Roy.
He said so many industrial summits have been held under the TMC government but no worthwhile investment has been made.
Sleuths asked Samuel to share password of iPhone which was used to carry out sting operation.
The video tapes that had surfaced ahead of the 2016 West Bengal assembly polls and persons resembling senior Trinamul Congress leaders and Mirza were seen accepting money from representatives of a fictitious company in return for favours.
The CBI recreated the sequence of events with the help of the duo.
The central agency, however, served a fresh notice asking Mukul Roy to appear before it on Saturday.
