In a social media post, the West Bengal unit of the BJP — the TMC’s principal political rival in the state — questioned the party’s decision to nominate individuals who, it claimed, were not associated with the organisation during its years in opposition.
West Bengal Information & Technology (IT) minister Babul Supriyo urged tech biggies to come forward and adopt start-ups, who, for some reasons, are failing to live up to expectations. This will help immensely in promoting the start-up ecosystem in the state.
His latest single, Shudhu Tomari Jonno is a Valentine’s Day release. Babul, who has been a musician at heart, said about the video that he was toying with the concept of the song and video for a long long time.
Madhur Bhushan accused Kishore Kumar of abandoning Madhubala during her final days, sparking a fiery rebuttal from Babul Supriyo. Supriyo slammed the claim as false.
Babul Supriyo, state IT and ITes minister inaugurated a website-based loan management system for the public enterprises and industrial reconstruction department, this afternoon.
"I am grateful to Abhishek Banerjee and Mamata Banerjee for giving me a big opportunity to work for the state and serve the people," he said.
"If you want to do social work, you can do it without being in politics," Supriyo said, adding: "Over the past few days, I have repeatedly taken the decision to leave politics to Hon'ble Amit Shah and Hon'ble Naddaji and I am eternally grateful to them for inspiring me in every way."
Local BJP leadership blamed Supriyo for failing miserably to bolster organisation in Asansol.
In the 40-odd seats that are going to the polls in this phase, the saffron camp has fielded Mr Supriyo, Union minister of state for environment and forest, at Tollygunge, Cooch Behar MP Nisith Pramanik at Dinhata and Hooghly MP Locket Chatterjee from Chinsura in the wake of intraparty squabbles in these constituencies.
According to Babul Supriyo, Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee was running the cattle-smuggling and coal mining scams in West Bengal.
