Former National Vice President of BJP Mukul Roy had contested the assembly election from Krishnanagar North constituency and defeated TMC candidate actor Kaushani Mukherjee
Mumbai: BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has sent a petition to the Speaker seeking disqualification of TMC leader Mukul Roy as the MLA from Krishnanagar Uttar constituency.
Adhikari had earlier sought Roy’s resignation under the anti-defection law, stating that the latter switched to the TMC despite winning the assembly elections on a BJP ticket from Krishnanagar North assembly constituency.
In his petition to the Speaker today, Adhikari raised the same demand and called for the disqualification of Roy’s MLA post.
The Bengal BJP camp was preparing to send a petition seeking disqualification of Mukul Roy as the MLA of Krishnanagar North from Thursday and had consulted its lawyers for the purpose. BJP chief whip in the assembly Manoj Tigga submitted the petition to Viman Banerjee on Friday.
