After being fired from his position in the Union cabinet last year, Supriyo, a former BJP member, joined the TMC. He renounced the Lok Sabha seat in Asansol that he had twice won on BJP tickets. The singer-turned-politician was then put forward by the ruling TMC for the Ballygunge assembly by-election in April of this year, where he easily won the seat.
