New speculation had started after the former minister edited his social media post and deleted the portion where he had mentioned that he will not join TMC, CPI (M) or Congress.
“After sensing several things I am confirming that I am not going to TMC, CPI (M) or Congress. I am a one Team Player! I have always supported one team MohunBagan. Have done only one party BJP West Bengal. That’s it,” read Babul’s initial post which he later deleted.
