V Sad that I won't be able to vote in Asansol. I needed to be there on the road too for the 26th Polls where 'desperate' @AITCofficial Goons hv already unleashed their terror machinery to disrupt free & fair polls 1/2
In another tweet, he asked TMC workers not to "rejoice" his health update and stated that he has handled his opponents since 2014. Extending mental support to candidates, Supriyo mentioned that he will be working on duty from the isolation centre. Babul Supriyo has home quarantined himself.
However, the #TMchhi terror machinery who I hv handled (well) since 2014 may not rejoice•Wil b doing my duties frm my room & b right by my Candidates mentally in everyway possible to ensure 9/9 seats there🤟@KailashOnline @shivprakashbjp @DilipGhoshBJP @BJP4Bengal @amitmalviya https://t.co/35uVEA5RNL
