On Saturday, 18th September 2021, Former Union Minister and ex BJP MP Babul Supriyo officially joined Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the presence of National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee and Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien.
"We take this opportunity to extend a very warm welcome to him!" said TMC.
Supriyo had quit the BJP in August following recent Union Cabinet reshuffle. He was minister of state for Environment, Forest and Climate Change in previous Cabinet.
Babul Supriyo had earlier announced that he was leaving active politics and would also resign as an MP but continue to work constitutionally in Asansol. He had stated that he would not join any political party and neither have the parties including the Trinamool Congress, CPI(M) or Congress had called him.
In a Facebook post, he said that there was a difference of opinion between him and the state BJP leaders and that the difference of opinion among senior leaders was "harming the party".
