Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is facing hurdles in West Bengal, ruled by INDIA bloc member TMC. The Nyay Yatra is facing problems in getting permission to organise public meetings and other events in the state.
Upbeat after the election results, a resurgent Opposition is coordinating its moves to mount pressure on the BJP-led NDA government to keep in abeyance the three laws that have been enacted to replace the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Evidence Act. The parties are also gearing up to corner the government on the NEET and UGC-NET controversies next week as the 18th Lok Sabha meets for the first time.
As the Trinamool Congress (TMC) looks set to stamp its dominance in West Bengal politics, leading in 30 of the state’s 42 Lok Sabha constituencies, and the BJP’s tally looks set to reduce, one of the major results is coming from Baharampur where state Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury is trailing TMC candidate and former cricketer Yusuf Pathan.
The Congress leadership on Monday blew hot and cold with its West Bengal chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury who is caught in the party’s crosshairs over his attacks on Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee.
Wearing an off-white hat, the 68-year-old Congress veteran in white shirt and white trousers, stands erect, riding pillion on a motorcycle as it navigates the narrow lanes of Hijol village in Kandi area of Murshidabad district. The posters on the walls along the way say: “Praner manush, kajer manush, kachher manush (A man after my own heart, a man of work, someone close)”.
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has been winning from Baharampur in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district since 1999. Chowdhury, who was the Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha in the outgoing House, is facing a challenge from Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate and former India cricketer Yusuf Pathan and the BJP’s Dr Nirmal Saha.
Unidentified youths on Saturday halted the car of West Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in his Lok Sabha constituency, Baharampur, shouting "go back" slogans. Chowdhury, running for re-election, blamed the Trinamool Congress, alleging this practice began during last year's civic polls.
With the Prime Minister-led selection committee set to meet Thursday to pick two Election Commissioners, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the Opposition member in the three-member panel, has written to the government, seeking the “dossier” containing the “bio-profiles” of the shortlisted persons “well before” the meeting.
WITH the Congress keeping its hopes up regarding an alliance with the Trinamool Congress, till the party dashed the same and unveiled names for all the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal on Sunday, the grand old party is still to work out a seat-sharing arrangement with its partner Left. This is even as the BJP too has released nearly half the names from its list.
