“I am happy with the talks we had with the chief minister,” Babul Supriyo told the waiting reporters after emerging from the CM office.
“I will perform whatever task is thrust upon me. I am also grateful to Abhisekh Banerjee for giving me this opportunity” Babul Supriyo said.
Babul Supriyo on Sunday said he wish to have Mamata Banerjee as the prime minister of India in 2024 because the TMC supremo is the only face of the opposition parties to challenge Narendra Modi across the country.
A BJP MP from Asansol Babul Supriyo, “I want to see that India’s most popular leader Mamata Banerjee becomes the PM after the 2024 Parliament poll, and undoubtedly and she is India’s most popular leader to replace incumbent PM, Narendra Modi. When Narendra Modi was the hope of 2014, why not Mamata Banerjee to be PM in 2024” said Babul Supriyo, a former ministerial colleague of Modi.
