MP Babul Supriyo quits BJP, joins Trinamool

In one of the biggest defections in West Bengal after the 2021 Assembly polls, former Union Minister and two-time BJP MP from Asansol Babul Supriyo on Saturday joined the Trinamool Congress. After joining the TMC, Mr. Supriyo told journalists that a “great opportunity” has been extended to him by the party leadership and he has decided to take it up. “Mamata Banerjee needs no campaign but if the party considers me, I will be happy to campaign in Bhabanipur,” Mr. Supriyo said. “Babul Supriyo has cheated the people of Asansol and also proved that his entire aim was to remain a Minister and enjoy power,” State BJP spokesperson Shamik Bhattacharya said.
