Senior leader Tathagata Roy hits out at a section of the leadership
Repeated losses in by-elections seem to have exposed the fissures in the BJP. Senior party leader and former Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy has targeted a section of the party leadership for the recent humiliating defeats.
The BJP has that went to the polls on October 20 to the Trinamool Congress, all with huge margins. Mr. Roy has taken to the social media to express his anger.
“BJP forfeits deposits in 3 out of 4: a party with potential to form a government in 2021! By handing over W Bengal to TMC, not only is BJP doomed in W Bengal; also doomed are the State and Bengali Hindus as a people. All 3 on a downhill journey from which they’ll never return..,” Mr. Roy tweeted on Wednesday.
