Supriyo wrote in Bengali that the deletion caused a lot of confusion, and he felt the need to clarify his stand by rewriting the deleted line.
"All my life, I have supported only one team - Mohun Bagan and all my life I have worked for only one party - BJP. I also want to make it clear that I am not joining any other political party," he added.

Beginning the post with 'Alvida', Babul Supriyo expressed his desire to quit politics and to continue social works without being tagged with a political party.
