BJP Lok Sabha MP and Bengal unit vice-president Arjun Singh returned to the Trinamul Congress after three years on Sunday.
He was welcomed back to the party by TMC General-secretary Abhishek Banerjee at the latter's Camac Street offiice.
The Diamond Harbour MP tweeted pictures of the Bhatpara strongman's homecoming on Twitter.
Earlier, amid intense speculation of his possible switchover to the TMC, Singh on Sunday evening held a marathon meeting with the ruling party's national general secretary Banerjee at his office in south Calcutta.
According to sources, Singh reached Banerjee's office around 4:30 pm and sat for a meeting with senior TMC leaders.
"There is nothing as such that be termed as the last word in politics," Singh, the BJP state vice-president, told reporters without elaborating.
Singh, who has been critical of the Centre's jute policy, had recently also slammed the state BJP leadership for not allowing him to work despite holding a senior position in the organisation.
One of the prominent Hindi-speaking leaders of the TMC, Singh joined the saffron camp just ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in 2019 and went on to win from the Barrackpore Lok Sabha seat.
