Kolkata:
Singer-turned-BJP MP Babul Supriyo is likely to be inducted in the union council of ministers on Sunday, party leaders said.
Mr Supriyo, who pulled off a big surprise win in the Lok Sabha polls from Asansol seat in West Bengal, would become the sole representative in PM Narendra Modi's ministry from the state once he takes oath.
State BJP president Rahul Sinha said PM Modi had himself called Mr Supriyo and informed him of the decision to make him a minister.
"It can safely be assumed that Babul Supriyo will be a Minister at the Centre. He will meet the Prime Minister tomorrow and his portfolio would be announced then," Mr Sinha said.
"Yesterday (Friday), I was informed about the development by the party leadership. The Prime Minister had also called Babul Supriyo," Mr Sinha added in Kolkata.
Although Mr Supriyo was unavailable for comment, a close aide to the leader said he would be travelling to Delhi for the swearing-in.
"I hope so," the aide replied, when asked if Supriyo would be made a central minister.
