Subhrangshu Roy, Trinamool Congress lawmaker from Bijpur in North 24 Parganas district and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukul Roy’s son, was suspended by Bengal’s ruling party on Friday.
Trinamool Congress senior leader Partha Chatterjee said that the Trinamool Congress had decided to suspend him for six years. Earlier today, Subhrangshu had said at a press conference that his father Mukul Roy had single-handedly devastated the Trinamool Congress.
Being part of the Trinamool Congress, that too as a lawmaker and making such a statement a day after the huge win for the BJP, was not taken well by the ruling party top brass. Subhrangshu also said that he was not willing to snap ties with the Trinamool Congress, but questioned whether the party still trusted him. “As a member and MLA of the Trinamool Congress, I tried my best to give my party lead in my area, but I failed. My father won. He alone has succeeded in devastating the Trinamool Congress,” Subhrangshu Roy said.
An hour or so later, Chatterjee announced at a press conference that the Trinamool Congress had suspended Subhrangshu Roy for six years because he making statements publicly in order to embarrass the party.
