Trinamool Leader Says 'BJP Will Win Bengal By-Polls', Quickly Corrects

However, the BJP greeted the comment with euphoria, saying he had "unwittingly spoken the truth".

Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mukul Roy, who recently rejoined the party days after winning from Krishnanagar North assembly seat on a BJP ticket, left reporters stunned when he said that the BJP will win the upcoming by-poll in the state. However, the BJP greeted the comment with euphoria, saying he had "unwittingly spoken the truth". "The BJP will win convincingly in the assembly by-polls. It will win in Tripura. There is not an iota of doubt in that," Mukul Roy told reporters at the TMC office. Even as there was stunned bewilderment among those present, the former Railway Minister quickly corrected himself and said, "The Trinamool Congress will undoubtedly win the by-elections. BJP will be trounced. "The 'Maa Mati Manush' party (TMC) will remain the winner here and open its account in Tripura as well. "BJP will be nowhere in the state. They will be decimated. Mamata Banerjee will continue to helm Bengal," he added.
