Abhijit Mukherjee, the son of former President Late Pranab Mukherjee, returned to the congress on Wednesday 12 February, after a short period with the Trinamool congress of Mamata Banerjee (TMC). Mukherjee formally came to the party in Kolkata in the presence of AICC-Lading Ghulam Ahmad Mir and other state leaders.
“… he (ABhijit Mukherjee) had contact with the leadership and the state of PCC in the past year … Today it was decided that Abhijit Mukherjee (the son of Pranab Mukherjee) will again become members of the congress,” Mir said earlier in The day.
In 2020, after the death of Pranab Mukherjee, both his son Abhijit and daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee stopped the Congrest party. Abhijit left the party in July 2021 to become a member of the TMC after the party led by Mamata Banerjee came to the state for the third time in a row.
Sharmistha, however, stopped in September 2021. Although she has not joined any party, she publicly criticized the Congrest Party on various occasions.
Lost the Lok Sabha election 2019
Abhijit lost the Lok Sabha election of 2019 to the Jangipur chair from TMC candidate Khalilur Rahamanan. “For two years I carried out every assignment to me by the congress. But they didn't give me enough assignments, whatever the reason is. I was gradually marginalized by a certain person, a certain group. In the meantime, Mamata Didi called me back as I had searched the time of her … I met them and they offered me to join them: “He had told the Ani news agency.
For two and a half years I carried out every assignment to me by the congress. But they didn't give me enough assignments, whatever the reason is.
Abhijit, with a company background, entered politics in 2011 when he won the polls of the meeting in the Nalhati constituency of the Birbhum district. In 2012 he won the Jangipur Lok Sabha-Kies district interim election on a conference card and defeated CPM's Muzaffar Hussain. The chair was abandoned by Pranab Mukherjee after he became president.
Abhijit was re-elected to Sabha van Jangipur in the polls of 2014, but lost the seat in 2019 to Khalilur Rahaman's of the Trinamool congress.
