They joined the BJP at its headquarters here in the presence of party national general secretary Dushyant Gautam and West Bengal co-incharge Amit Malviya.

Singh, who had earlier joined the BJP in 2019 after quitting the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and defeated the then-TMC candidate on the Barrackpur seat, had returned to the TMC again in 2022 even as he remained a BJP MP on Parliament record.

He announced that he was leaving the TMC days after being dropped from the Mamata Banerjee-led party’s list of candidates for the Lok Sabha polls.
