New Delhi, Oct 18: Former Union Minister Babul Supriyo is scheduled to meet Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday at 11am to submit his resignation as a BJP MP from the house.
“Sincere Gratitude to Hon’ble Speaker Sri Om Birla for granting me his time tomorrow at 11am to formally resign as a MP. I will not hold on to the Berth/Perks/Salary of a MP now that I am no longer a part of @BJP4India that I won the seat for. If I have it in me, I will win it again”, tweeted Babul Supriyo expressing his gratitude to the Speaker for granting the appointment.
Notably, on October 1, Supriyo shared a letter which he wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking an appointment to meet him for an urgent matter. The TMC leader had said he sent a letter seeking Om Birla’s appointment on September 20 and was acknowledged as received.
Earlier, Supriyo had resigned in August as minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, following the Union Cabinet reshuffle. On September 18, the former BJP leader had announced that he was leaving politics and would resign as an MP but later on joined Trinamool Congress (TMC) claiming that he was coming back for a great opportunity to serve the people of Bengal.
