TMC MP Derek O'Brien commented on tweet, "Good on you."
Supriyo, who had unsuccessfully contested the 2021 assembly elections in Mar-Apr as a BJP candidate from Tollygunge, was stripped of his ministry in the last cabinet reshuffle of the Modi government at the Centre.
On the same day when he lost his junior ministry, the two-term MP had announced quitting politics though he had stated he would not join any other party.
Supriyo, a singer-turned politician, won from Asansol in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha assembly elections.
