Babul Supriyo Joins Trinamool Congress Days After He “Left Politics”.
The Trinamool Congress published photos of Babul Supriyo joining the party and warmly welcomed the former Union minister.
In an unexpected development on Saturday, former Union Minister Babul Supriyo joined the Trinamool Congress, days after he officially announced that he had left politics.
Babul Supriyo was one of the staunch critics of Supreme Trinamool and West Bengal Prime Minister Mamata Banerjee, and as he had announced his resignation from politics, he previously maintained that he would not join any other political party.
In the latest cabinet shakeup, Babul Supriyo was removed from the cabinet and within days announced his self-exile from politics. However, he did not officially resign as a BJP deputy.
There were no whispers of Babul Supriyo joining the Trinamool, as reports said the BJP kept the singer-turned-politician as a star activist for BJPs, Bhabanipur’s election candidate Priyanka Tibrewal.

Trinamool said this is just the beginning, as many BJP leaders are in communication with TMC leaders. “They are not satisfied with BJP. One (Babul Supriyo) joined today, another wants to join tomorrow. This process will continue. Wait and watch, ”said Trinamool leader Kunal Ghosh.
The departure of a former heavyweight minister and popular singer just ahead of the Bhabanipur by-elections in which Priyanka Tibrewal will challenge Mamata Banerjee reinforces TMC’s strength.

Between 2014 and 2021, he served as minister of state for various departments, including urban development, housing, urban poverty alleviation, ministry of heavy industries, public companies, ministry of environment, forests and climate change, etc.
His importance in the party in the state was reduced due to Dilip Ghosh, while he lost his cabinet post after being defeated in the West Bengal assembly elections.
The former minister has been grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Interior Minister Amit Shah, but in many of his posts on social media, he revealed how infighting between the BJP in West Bengal demoralizes workers. base.
