Trinamool Congress MLA and noted Bengali cine star Debashree Roy has written to BJP president Amit Shah seeking to join his party.
Sources in the BJP said that she sent a four-line typed missive on her official letterhead dated October 20 in which there was a condition mentioning of her joining the saffron outfit.
The actor of Mahabharata fame (where she played the role of Bhisma’s mother) has reportedly asked for central security as a condition for joining the BJP.
Though the TMC legislator denied having written such a letter to the Union Home Minister, she had, in fact, approached the saffron leadership in August this year seeking to join that party. She was seen sitting inside the BJP headquarters in Delhi at a time when former Trinamool Congress leader and Minister Sovan Chatterjee too had gone to the Capital to join the saffron party.
Sources say Chatterjee who has not been in good terms with Roy spiked her entry into the BJP in August.
