Former BJP leader Babul Supriyo will formally resign as MP on Tuesday, he said in a tweet, weeks after he quit the party to join the TMC.

In a tweet, the former union minister on Monday thanked Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for granting him appointment to resign as Lok Sabha MP.

This comes after the two-term MP from Asansol had on September 20 -- two days after joining West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress party -- wrote to Birla, seeking a “brief” appointment with him to formally resign as a member of the house.
