The condition of the veteran politician Mukul Roy is still critical though there has been a slight improvement in his health status, according to doctors attending to him at the premier private hospital where he has been undergoing treatment since Thursday.
However, days after the results were announced, Roy on June 11, 2021, went to the Trinamul Congress headquarters in Kolkata
The CPI-M leader Sujan Chakraborty asked why is Roy still holding the PAC chairman’s post when his own party’s lawmakers are claiming that he lacks mental balance. “Is he kept in the position to help in financial corruption through certain exchanges?” he questioned.
The bench noted that there are so many cases where there is delay by the Speaker, and the court is often told to stay away and allow the Speaker to decide.
The bench said a petition filed for Roy's disqualification is pending before the Speaker for more than three months, the maximum period fixed in a judgement of the Supreme Court, for decision thereof.
As soon as Roy joined TMC he was allotted a Y category security by state police
According to reliable sources, the TMC, keeping an eye on the next Parliamentary elections, has planned to ready its organisation so that it can regain the lost Lok Sabha seats by inducting MLAs and MPs from the BJP fold.
Reporters reminded Mr Roy that when he joined the BJP, he criticised both Mamata Banerjee and her nephew, who is at present party’s all India general secretary and asked him what he has to say about that.
However, the Trinamul party insiders said that though the party had a working committee meeting on 5 June, it was too early for the party to take back the defectors or who changed sides before the 2021 poll.
The two-minute conversation between Modi and Roy has triggered political speculation because it came after TMC leader and MP Abhiskek Banerjee made a surprise visit to the hospital on Wednesday evening.
