He also promised that the party will look after all their workers.
“A new journey begins from today. Need all your love support. From now onwards this will be my political profile on Instagram,” he tweeted.

The ex-cricketer last played in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and then joined TMC in February. Tiwary would bring in the star appeal as he contests from Shibpur.
After joining the party, Tiwary had said: “BJP is playing divisive policy and Mamata Banerjee is trying to unite people together. When I play cricket, I play for the country, not on the basis of religion”.
Meanwhile, another star cricketer from Bengal Ashoke Dinda has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the election.
