Abhijit Mukherjee Rejoins Congress, Strengthening West Bengal Unit

Abhijit Mukherjee, son of former President Pranab Mukherjee, has returned to the Congress party after a four-year stint with the Trinamool Congress. His rejoining strengthens the Congress' efforts in West Bengal. Mukherjee had expressed his desire to return in 2022, but logistical issues delayed the move.

In a significant political shift, Abhijit Mukherjee, son of former Indian President Pranab Mukherjee, rejoined the Congress party on Wednesday. This move comes after a four-year association with the Trinamool Congress.

The former Lok Sabha MP was welcomed back into the Congress fold at a ceremony held at the party's state headquarters. Prominent figures such as AICC general secretary Gulam Ahmed Mir and state Congress leaders marked the occasion.

Mukherjee expressed joy, terming it his 'second birthday' in the Congress and politics. His return is considered a strategic boost to the Congress party's presence in West Bengal, with state leaders emphasizing the importance of this development.
