“I am not creating any history by changing the party. I want to thank Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee. I am MP from Asansol, and I will go to Delhi on Wednesday. If the Speaker gives me time, I will resign the same. from day to day,” he said.
Within 48 hours of leaving the BJP and joining the Trinamool Congress, former Union Minister Babul Supriyo met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat Nabanna on Monday afternoon.
The Chief Minister talked for more than half an hour with the singer-turned-politician.
“She (Banerjee) asked me to work with all my heart and sing with all my heart, which I think is like the icing on the cake. I will have time to sing. She said ‘Pujor Shomoy Tumi Gana Koro’ ( Sing during Durga Puja),” said Supriyo.
Asked if he would sing any song written by Mamata Banerjee, Supriyo said, “I am a professional singer. I will definitely sing. I have sung many unknown lyricists. First, let me get the songs.”
“I am really overwhelmed by the way he and Abhishek (Banerjee) accepted me to the party. I am new to the party, but they didn’t make me feel that way. Everyone accepted me into the party with love and affection I will definitely try to return to the faith he has placed in me.”
“I am not creating any history by changing the party. I want to thank Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee. I am MP from Asansol, and I will go to Delhi on Wednesday. If the Speaker gives me time, I will resign the same. from day to day,” he said.
After being removed from the Union Council of Ministers, Supriyo created panic in the political circles by joining the Trinamool Congress on Sunday. Representing the Lok Sabha for the second time from Asansol, Supriyo had earlier said that he would quit politics. However, he was later persuaded by the BJP leadership to continue as a member of the Lok Sabha.
