Senior BJP leader and former Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy’s comment on TMC has once again rocked BJP.

Roy in a tweet quoting a BJP supporter, said that there are many people in BJP who are working for TMC in disguise and they are all employed by Prashant Kishor (PK).

Roy in his tweet said that he got the information from one of the dedicated supporter of the BJP where he claimed that an educated youth of his neighbouring village was called by Team-PK and was asked to join the BJP but work for the Trinamool Congress and for that he would get Rs 13,000 per month.

Roy in the following tweet also in Bengali said, “I believe there are many grassroots level workers in BJP who are employed by PK. So far we can’t identify them. It is impossible for BJP to win in Bengal”.

Roy has been continuously attacking the BJP for quite some time. He alleged that BJP workers were more interested in their personal benefits.

In a tweet earlier he had said, “I have not written all these things to get accolades from anybody. Some top leaders were so much involved in women and wealth, I wanted to alert the party about that. A tree is known by its fruit. I shall wait for the results of the civic polls. For now, adieu West Bengal BJP”.

Reacting to Roy’s tweet, a senior BJP leader said, “Tathagata Roy is a senior leader. He knows best what he is saying. We cannot react to comments made on a public platform. If he has anything to say he will have to say it to the BJP leadership”.
