Kolkata: Unemployment and workforce migration continue to remain major issues in Congress heavyweight Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s bastion, the Baharampur Lok Sabha constituency in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district and seems to have triggered ‘anti-incumbency’ for the five-time MP from the seat. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) sprung a surprise by bringing in former India all-rounder Yusuf Pathan from Gujarat to challenge Chowdhury, the son of the soil who has been winning the seat without a break since 1999. Besides Mr Pathan, Chowdhury is also taking on BJP’s Nirmal Chandra Saha, a popular doctor from the region, where polls are scheduled on May 13. “Although we consider Adhir da as our leader, we did not see his required involvement in Baharampur’s development in the last decade. We had higher expectations from him,” Sudhir Sengupta, a local businessman, told PTI. According to Lakshman Hazari, a resident of Amar Chakraborty Road in Baharampur town for the last 55 years, the entire district seems to have earned the dubious distinction of becoming the …

I know how to fight and how to win,” Adhir said. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury earlier said the Congress would not beg seats from Trinamool in West Bengal.
