The new minister in the West Bengal cabinet has no qualms about admitting he too has made compromises in life and with songs. “I had to sing downright bad compositions with a smiling face, at times to make others happy,” he said.
Ballygunge MLA from the Trinamul Congress Babul Supriyo is happy that the uncertainty over his swearing-in is behind him and now wants to focus wholeheartedly on work in his constituency. He spoke to Ashok Chatterjee about politics and life in general.
Babul Supriyo resigned in August as minister of state for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, following the Union Cabinet reshuffle.
“Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has neither appointed any MP from West Bengal as a Cabinet minister nor any Union minister of state, independent charge. Forget about me, even a very senior MP like Surender Singh Ahluwalia has been denied the post of a Cabinet minister,”
Later, Supriya told the reporters that from now on he can sing to his heart’s content. The party supremo and national general secretary will decide what will be his next assignment.
