West Bengal’s political landscape mourns the loss of Mukul Roy, whose abrupt death has elicited an outpouring of grief from TMC leaders. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was quick to express her devastation on X, painting a picture of a deep bond forged in political trenches.
Mamata’s post detailed Roy’s integral role as a long-term partner in her political odyssey and his total devotion to TMC from day one. She lamented the profound pain of his passing, recalling his stature as Union Minister and party-wide popularity.
Even after diverging paths and making a comeback, Roy’s indelible impact on Bengal politics through exceptional organizing abilities stands tall. Transcending factions, his void will be keenly felt, according to the CM, who extended sympathies to his kin and admirers, with a special note of solidarity to Shubhranshu Roy.
TMC heavyweight Abhishek Banerjee termed it the close of a significant chapter in Bengal’s political chronicle. Hailing Roy as a veteran with immense experience, he credited him for molding key public and political milestones. As a cornerstone of TMC’s early days, Roy’s expansionary zeal was legendary, earning eternal praise for his public commitment.
Condolences from top TMC brass reflect Roy’s stature. His journey—from party loyalist to Union Minister and beyond—symbolizes resilience and dedication, ensuring his name resonates in Bengal’s political annals for generations.
