Kolkata, May 6: BJP leader Tathagata Roy on Thursday said his party’s top brass has called him to Delhi at the earliest, a day after he criticised some of the measures taken by the saffron camp’s decision-makers ahead of the assembly elections.
The BJP pocketed just 77 seats in the just-concluded Bengal polls, with the TMC having bagged 213 constituencies.
The saffron party had set a target of winning over 200 seats.
Taking to Twitter, Tathagata Roy, who is former Governor of two northeastern states — Tripura and Meghalaya — said, “I have been asked by the party’s topmost leadership to come to Delhi ASAP. This is for general information.”
Roy, during his interaction with reporters on Wednesday, had claimed that “unwanted elements” from the TMC was inducted into the BJP ahead of the West Bengal assembly polls, and leaders having no idea or understanding of Bengali culture and heritage were made to helm the election campaign in the state.
