The ghar wapsi, or homecoming, of Mukul Roy is part of the Trinamool's strategy to strike while the iron is hot. The objective - to demolish the BJP in Bengal, where it still has 18 Lok Sabha MPs, ahead of the 2024 national election, which is just two-and-a-half years away. To accomplish this objective, and chart out its future course, the Trinamool is eager to capitalise on the anti-BJP sentiment in the state at this moment.
