No plan to float a new party, says Mukul Roy, day after quitting TMC

A day after quitting the Trinamool Congress and his Rajya Sabha seat, Mukul Roy on Thursday said he had no plans to float a new political party. Roy, who is slated to visit the Election Commission, said he was not going there to talk about a proposal for a new party but to discuss upcoming assembly bypolls. “Bypolls to two assembly seats in West Bengal will be held in November and I will request the EC to ensure that the elections are held in a free and fair manner. I will give my suggestions in this regard to the EC," Roy, who was suspended by the Trinamool Congress last month, told the 'ABP Ananda' news channel.
