Pranab Mukherjee's Son To Join Trinamool Congress Today: Sources

A former Congress MP from Jangipur and an MLA from Nalhati, Trinamool may offer Abhijti Mukherjee the Jangipur assembly seat which is due a bypoll.

Former president Pranab Mukherjee's son Abhijit Mukherjee is likely to join the Trinamool Congress today, say sources. A former Congress MP from Jangipur and an MLA from Nalhati, Trinamool may offer Mr Mukherjee the Jangipur assembly seat which is due a bypoll as a candidate there had passed away just before the elections. Abhijit Mukherjee's father Pranab Mukherjee won the Jangipur parliamentary constituency in Bengal's Murshidabad district twice as a Congress MP till he vacated it in 2012 to run for President. The Congress, which fought the Bengal elections in partnership with the Left, was decimated. The party got zero seats; the Left too failed to win any seat.
