Singer, Trinamool Congress leader and Bengal's minister for renewable energy and information technology Babul Supriyo was in Mumbai to receive the Saptaswara Samrat Dr K J Yesudas Achievers Award for his contribution to the music industry, when he spoke to Patcy N/Rediff.com.
As the Bharatiya Janata Party, which the former Union minister and two-time MP quit in 2021, and the Trinamool engage in a verbal war ahead of the general elections, Supriyo is very clear that if the BJP wins, as is widely expected, "Democracy may not exist in India."
'BJP is Bengali hater's party'
'If BJP wins again, I don't know whether democracy will exist in India'
'Crores of rupees of West Bengal have not been paid by BJP'
'TMC has made it clear to Congress that we will give them 2 seats'
