Not joining any other party: Babul clarifies amid talks over FB post

SUPRIYO MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE INFIGHTING AMONG THE TOP LEADERSHIP OF THE PARTY IN WB IS HARMING THE MORALE OF CADRE

KOLKATA: A day after Babul Supriyo’s Facebook post announcing resignation from BJP, Lok Sabha and politics stirred a row, the former Union minister clarified that he indeed is not joining any party.

He said those lines in the original post got deleted by mistake as he was editing the post to add the point about his resignation from the MP post too.

“I assume while trying to add the line that I am resigning from my MP post too, a very important line got erased for some reason. Hence, reiterating that I am not joining any other political party,” he said.

Supriyo also made some other posts which may not be political but brings his disagreement with West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh to the fore, once again.

On Saturday, Supriyo made it clear that the infighting among the top leadership of the party in West Bengal is harming the morale of the grassroots cadre. Though he did not take Ghosh’s name, his indication was amply towards him who later denied commenting on the former’s resignation. “Has he officially resigned? I don’t see who posts what on Facebook,” Ghosh said.

Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh too reacted on the same lines and said instead of announcing on Facebook, Supriyo should submit his resignation to the Lok Sabha Speaker.

Asked about his resignation, Supriyo on Saturday said he should be allowed the dignity of silence. Then at night, he took to Facebook and posted two snippets of the reaction of Dilip Ghosh and Kunal Ghosh and wrote,”At least I won’t have to deal with such uncouth comments every day.”
