Abhijit Banerjee joins Trinamool Congress

Kolkata: Congress MP Abhijit Mukherjee, the son of former president Pranab Mukherjee on Monday joined the Trinamool Congress in presence of senior party leaders like Partha Chatterjee and Sudip Bandyopadhyay. ” The way Mamata Banerjee halted the recent communal wave by BJP, I believe that in the future, with the support of others, she would be able to do the same in the entire country,” Abhijit Mukherjee said after joining the Trinamool Congress.

“The Congress did not give me any position and therefore I have now joined the TMC. I will work as a soldier, and accordingly will perform the responsibilities given,” he added.
