Babul Supriyo's comments came a day after he said Mamata Banerjee was among the frontrunners for the prime ministerial post in 2024.
Bollywood singer-tuned-politician Babul Supriyo had a "musical meeting" today with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, whose party, the Trinamool Congress, he joined over the last weekend.
The Chief Minister asked him to both work and sing "with all his heart", the former Union Minister of State for Environment and popular playback singer told reporters in Kolkata after the meeting.
"I'm very happy to meet her. The affection and warmth with which she welcomed me to the Trinamool family..." Mr Supriyo said.
"She asked me to work with all my heart and sing with all my heart, which I think is the icing on the cake. She said 'Pujor samayo tumi gaan karo' (It's Puja time, you sing)."
