Former Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy questions choice of candidatesFormer Meghalaya Governor and one of senior most leaders of the BJP in West Bengal Tathagata Roy on Tuesday targeted the party leadership through a series of social media posts over the party’s poll debacle. He raised questions over the choice of actors as candidates and accused party leaders of not standing by supporters when they are under attack. Pointing out that all these actors were defeated, Mr. Roy asked BJP leaders like Kailash Vijayvargiya and Dilip Ghosh why they were given tickets. Not Dilip Ghosh, not any of the General Secretaries,” Mr Roy tweeted, adding that he had no official responsibility in the party and was helpless in such a situation. Mr Roy had earlier expressed his willingness to work for the BJP in West Bengal even when he was Governor of Meghalaya.
