Roy contested the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections from Krishnangar Uttar constituency and defeated TMC candidate actor Koushani Mukherjee.

Roy’s meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee comes a month after the TMC secured a landslide victory in the
West Bengal assembly elections.

Mukul Roy, a founding member of TMC, had changed camps and joined BJP in November 2017.

Mukul’s Roy homecoming will come as a big jolt for the BJP as he held Vice-President post in the party and even strategized BJP’s poll campaign in Bengal.
