Yusuf Pathan is in for a different battle this summer. The former India cricketer for the first time. He is competing against seasoned Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. When asked about Chowdhury, the winning MP for five terms, Yusuf spoke in cricketing terms.
In a major setback to the Congress and its unit in West Bengal, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the party’s outgoing floor leader of the Lok Sabha, lost from Baharampur to the Trinamool Congress’s (TMC’s) debut face and cricketer-turned-politician Yusuf Pathan.
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.
Initial trends show the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is not only holding fort in West Bengal, but gaining against the BJP.
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.
