An ardent admirer of
Atal Bihari Vajpayee and
Narendra Modi, Supriyo was introduced to
Bharatiya Janata Party in March 2014. In
2014 Indian general election, he was nominated by the party as their candidate for
Asansol, West Bengal and won it by defeating
Dola Sen. He was inducted to
Narendra Modi's government as the Union Minister of State,
Ministry of Urban Development; and
Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation on 9 November 2014. He became the youngest minister. In the
2019 Indian general election, Supriyo again won from the
Asansol as a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate defeating
Moon Moon Sen by 1.97 lakh votes, and securing a total of 6.32 lakh votes. In May 2019, he became Minister of State for
Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
Member of Parliament On 19 September 2019, Supriyo was attacked by students after he was invited to attend an event at Calcutta's
Jadavpur University. On 13 August 2019, Supriyo Babul, accused the state government of not giving food for the cyclone affected people in Fazarganj for 5 days. In the
2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election, Babul Supriyo ran from
Tollyganj (Vidhan Sabha constituency) as the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate and lost by more than 50,000 votes. Probably stung by an unexpected defeat, Supriyo stated that Bengal had made a 'historic mistake' by voting for TMC. However the Facebook post was later deleted. On 31 July 2021, Babul Supriyo announced on social media his decision to quit politics and also resign as a
Lok Sabha MP. However, days later he decided to complete his tenure as MP. He then edited his Facebook post deleting the "won't join any party" remark raising speculations. On 18 September 2021 he joined TMC in presence of
Abhishek Banerjee. On 16 April 2022 he was elected as a Member of the
West Bengal Legislative Assembly from
Ballygunge Assembly seat. After he was elected as an MP, he resigned as a cabinet minister and as a member of legislative assembly. ==Singing career==
