"After Diwali, I'll announce my next step and the future of my political career," he said.
Roy said: "After Diwali, I'll announce my next step and the future of my political career."
The former Union Minister said he will not be able to work in the TMC 'silently like other leaders'.
"Mamata of course is a leader, but we are not servants," he said.
He said: "Decided 6 months ago, took time and today finally quiting TMC."
"I can't stay with TMC silently like other leaders. I have no option except leaving one-man party," he said.
The Trinamool Congress in September suspended former Railway Minister Mukul Roy for six years for 'anti party activities'.
Roy, one of the founding leaders of the Trinamool Congress, had long been regarded the second-in-command of the party after Mamata Banerjee and the architect of TMC's organisational and electoral success in the state.
However, he fell from the grace of Banerjee following his interrogation by the CBI in connection with the multi-crore Sarada chit fund scam.
