"I'll Be In A Team That Makes Me Part Of The Playing 11": Babul Supriyo
NDTV
Babul Supriyo said he has not "created history" as he not the first person to leave a party and join another one.
Former Union Minister Babul Supriyo, who moved from the BJP to the Trinamool Congress in the past few days, today reiterated that he wants to be part of a team that embraces him warmly and makes him part of the playing 11.
Once again deploying sports metaphors, the Bollywood singer-turned-politician's move has reportedly created a buzz on West Bengal political circles -- days after his move, West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh was replaced with Sukanta Majumdar. This has been perceived as a move to stem any haemorrhaging in the state party unit.
Mr Supriyo, however, refused to be drawn into the matter.
"Now that I am with the Trinamool, I consider this the BJP's internal matter. Speaking as a political analyst or a commoner, I can say that Dilip Ghosh has done good work for Bengal. But his language, his commentary...that has not been taken well by the people of Bengal," the Asansol MP said during an exclusive interview with NDTV.
