Abhishek Banerjee, sharing the stage with Biswas, expressed his delight at the joining and welcomed him warmly.
Biswas, a prominent bidi businessman, played a crucial role in the party’s strategy for the upcoming panchayat polls.
Responding to the development, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the President of West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, urged party workers not to be concerned about the recent shift, asserting that Congress is moving forward in the state and will focus on honest individuals while distributing tickets.
“Earlier TMC complained that BJP Congress and CPM jointly helped Bayron Biswas win, why are they speaking in a different tone today? TMC does not have the ability to accept people’s verdict. TMC Leader tries to win by squashing people’s verdict. The game she (Mamata Banerjee) is indulged in will destroy her one day.”
“Would ask Congress workers not to worry about this recent shift (of Biswas). Congress is marching ahead in west bengal and we need not to concentrate on who is coming and who is leaving. In the coming days we will give tickets to people who are honest. Congress will destroy TMC in west bengal,” says Chowdhury.
He predicted that Congress would defeat the TMC in West Bengal.
With his move to the TMC, Biswas expressed confidence in the party’s ability to effectively counter the growing influence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state. The Sagardighi constituency, known for its significant minority population, has traditionally been a stronghold for the Congress party. Biswas’ decision to join the TMC is seen as a strategic move aimed at consolidating support from minority communities, considering the TMC’s track record of advocating for their interests.
