There has been a speculation that the Public Accounts Committee of the Legislative Assembly of West Bengal would be in the hands of the ruling party (TMC). But that speculation is coming to an end. The Trinamool Congress is going to give the responsibility of the Public Accounts Committee to the opposition BJP (Bengal BJP). The Public Accounts Committee is in charge of the general opposition. According to sources, the ruling party informed the BJP about the same on Wednesday. Sources said Mukul Roy may be made the chairman. However, it is not final. Political analysts question whether this is the initiative of Padma Shibir to reduce the distance with Mukul? Discussion is going on.

According to sources, BJP will be in charge of 10 committees in the assembly. Trinamool Congress MLA Asima Patra will be in the Home Standing Committee. In the 2016 elections, the Congress and the Left Alliance won 6 seats. They had 18 committees. But this time BJP alone got 6 seats but 10 committees are going to go to them.

This Public Accounts Committee is very important in the case of the Legislative Assembly. The chairman of this committee plays an important role in auditing all kinds of development work in the state. As is customary, this committee is handed over to the opposition every year. However, this year there was speculation that the grassroots could keep it in their own hands. Shankar Singh, a Trinamool MLA from the Congress last year, was made the chairman of the committee.

It was rumored that Mukul had left the Trinamool due to a quarrel with Abhishek. Although neither side acknowledged it. But there was no news that the relationship between Mukul and Abhishek has improved. However, since Shuvendu Adhikari’s conflict with Abhishek started, Mukul has fallen behind as an ‘opponent’. Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee expressed ‘sympathy’ for Mukul during the election campaign.

“It simply came to our notice then. He is not as bad as Shuvendu. But OK also gave a distant seat (Krishnanagar North). He could have given a seat near the house!”

After that, the acquaintances can see the touch of‘ mature politics ’in visiting Abhishek’s sudden Mukul’s wife. That too at a time when Mukul himself is in a very ‘sensitive’ state.

Mukul won from Krishnanagar North seat and became the MLA. But in the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP’s margin of victory in that seat has narrowed to at least 16,000. After the vote, Mukul has wrapped up a lot like a politician. He was not seen in such a political activity except for coming come to the assembly to take the oath as a legislator. His body is not going well lately. He has also become very inactive in his political and practical life due to his wife’s illness. It would be an exaggeration to say that his distance from the team has been created. But the people close to Mukul also know that a tune is playing somewhere. In that context, Abhishek went to see his wife. Incidentally, when Abhishek went to the hospital on Wednesday evening, Mukul was not there. Abhishek met Roy’s son Subhrangshu at the hospital and prayed for the speedy recovery of his mother.
