Trinamool Congress leader Mukul Roy who switched camp after the Bengal election results on Friday said the BJP will win the by-election in the state. Roy soon realised it was his slip of tongue and clarified saying he actually meant Trinamool.
Correcting himself, Roy said BJP will be decimated in the state and Mamata Banerjee will continue to helm Bengal.

While the BJP leaders said that Roy had unwittingly blurted out the truth, his son Subhrangshu Roy, said that father’s mistake has been blown out of proportion. He added that his father has been forgetting things since his wife's death.
Party insiders have reportedly said though his comment has been made viral the high command is aware of Roy’s health condition therefore they are not taking this seriously.
