Amid rising speculation about political leaders leaving their parties to join opposition camps ahead of the Assembly polls in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sougata Roy on Saturday said that he strongly stands with his party and will never join BJP.

Roy, while speaking to media slammed BJP MP from Barrackpore Arjun Singh as a "third-class" politician and "Bahubali". "This is nothing but a part of BJP's campaign. It is BJP IT Cell Head Amit Malviya's technique to spread a lot of fake news," he added.

BJP MP Arjun Singh on Saturday made a statement that Trinamool Congress MP Sougata Roy along with five other MPs are going to join BJP. Meanwhile, TMC leader and state minister Suvendu Adhikari's leaving his party is an open question as on various occasions like in Nandigram and Midnapore he has been identified as holding public meetings without the party's symbol, flag or banner.
