CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has called on West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee to return to the Congress, saying that the party is prepared to accept her leadership in the State. Chowdhury’s remarks come amid discussions over the political equations in West Bengal and the relationship between the Congress and the Trinamool Congress.

He said the Congress was willing to work under Banerjee’s leadership in Bengal if she chose to return to the party. The statement highlights the continuing political significance of cooperation and opposition coordination among parties in the State. Banerjee, who has led the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal for years, has previously been a prominent figure in broader Opposition politics at the national level.

Chowdhury’s appeal signals an openness within a section of the Congress leadership towards rebuilding political ties with Banerjee. The proposal also comes against the backdrop of preparations for future electoral contests in West Bengal, where both parties have maintained their separate political identities. Any formal change in their relationship would depend on decisions by the respective party leaderships. For now, Chowdhury’s statement represents his position and does not by itself indicate any decision by Banerjee or the Congress high command.
