Satabdi Roy, Tollywood actor who was brought into politics by Mamata Banerjee, is deputy to Trinamool Congress’s rebel ‘Chief Whip” Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar. The group of 20 rebel MPs who formed a bloc within the Trinamool, have written to the Speaker Om Birla, saying they would support the NDA — a decision Roy endorses, but only politically.
Asked whether she felt conflicted, Roy, in an exclusive interview to NDTV’s Shiv Aroor, said, “I feel politically I made the right decision… But emotionally and morally I’m wrong… Otherwise I’m done. Good thing”
Asked what she’d like to say to Mamata Banerjee, Roy delivered a surprise comment: “I miss you Didi!”
Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress, just weeks after the crushing defeat to the BJP, is struggling to contain rebellion within its ranks in the state assembly and parliament.
