The Congress party has changed the state president in West Bengal. Congress has appointed Subhankar Sarkar as the new president in place of Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary. Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary’s post of Leader of Opposition ended after he lost the Lok Sabha elections and now he has been removed from the post of president as well. Despite this, his rebellious attitude will remain. He has said that his campaign against Mamata Banerjee’s government will continue. He has said this despite the fact that the new state president of the state, Subhankar Sarkar, has extended a hand of friendship like Mamata Banerjee’s government and has taken the initiative of better coordination.
Everyone knows that the political rivalry between Adhir Ranjan and Mamta Banerjee is decades old. They have not liked each other since the time they were in Youth Congress. Even when Mamta was with UPA, she never got along with Adhir Ranjan. This time, she based her decision of not aligning with Congress in the Lok Sabha elections on Adhir Ranjan’s statements. Now the Congress high command has in a way surrendered to Mamta Banerjee and has made a person the president whose politics is not about fighting. In such a situation, will Adhir Ranjan remain with Congress? This is a big question. He can also leave Congress. For some time, there have been reports of him being in touch with BJP.
