KOLKATA: Newly inducted BJP leader Mukul Roy on Friday accused his former party Trinamool Congress of having turned itself into a "private limited company" under the stewardship of Mamata Banerjee and her nephew Abhishek.The TMC, on the other hand, charged Roy with making "false statements", and said he was the "managing director" of the party, which he is now dubbing as a company, until some time back.Roy, a former close aide of Mamata Banerjee, said she is no longer the person she used to be 10 years back. "I still remember 10 years back, when people were being killed in Nandigram and Singur, chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was busy inaugurating a film festival. Today also when people are dying from dengue, Mamata Banerjee is busy inaugurating film festival", Roy said addressing his first rally here after joining the BJP recently. "TMC is no longer All India Trinamool Congress . It has turned into a private limited company," he said.He said "badla noi, badal chai" (no revenge but change) was the slogan Banerjee gave before the 2011 Assembly polls, but now the police is detaining political leaders for opposing the TMC government.We want democracy in Bengal.
