Folk singer Basudeb Das Baul, who had hosted Union Home Minister Amit Shah for lunch at his humble home in West Bengal’s Birbhum earlier this month during Shah’s visit to the state, participated in Mamata Banerjee’s rally on Tuesday.
Days after the Home Minister’s visit, Baul had complained that he was not allowed to speak to his guest and seek a job or opportunities for higher education for his daughter.
Last week, the singer paid a visit to TMC’s district secretary in Bolpur, Anubrata Mondal, where he confirmed that he would walk alongside the West Bengal Chief Minister with a contingent of Baul singers, as per a report in The Statesman.
