Babul Supriyo

BJP national Vice President Dilip Ghosh on Thursday hit back at former party leader and newly inducted minister in the West Bengal government, Babul Supriyo who accused the Centre of not picking a Bengali as a cabinet minister in the last 8 years.

Babul Supriyo, who was on Wednesday sworn in as a minister in Mamata Banerjee's cabinet, has had a roller-coaster ride, from being a popular playback singer to BJP's poster boy in West Bengal to joining the Trinamool government.

Babul Supriyo, once a minister in Narendra Modi's union cabinet, today became a minister in the West Bengal government of Mamata Banerjee. He had joined her party, Trinamool Congress, last year after exiting the BJP.

Babul Supriyo's life has been one roller coaster ride - from a city banker who rose to be a BJP Minister at the Centre after a chance meeting with yoga guru Ramdev, he suddenly found himself out in the cold after losing an assembly poll last year.

Trinamool's Shatrughan Sinha and Babul Supriyo registered big and handsome wins in Asansol Lok Sabha and Ballygunge assembly seats, respectively, the most keenly watched among the five by-polls for which votes were counted today.
