Alipurduar Trinamul Congress leader Anirban Banerjee, along with 100 other workers, joined hands with the Congress party here on Friday. A programme was organized by the Congress to mark the occasion at the ‘Alipurduar District Congress Karyalaya’ in College Halt in the town on Friday.
Alipurduar district Congress president, Biswaranjan Sarkar, handed over the party flag to the new comers at the programme. “Anirban Banerjee, a PHD scholar associated with Hyderabad Central University is a popular leader in the district.
He is a candidate for Booth No- 12/110 and he switched over to our party along with his followers of the Banchukamari gram panchayat under Alipurduar block-1 in the district. The Congress will now become stronger in the district after Mr Banerjee’s inclusion,” Mr Sarkar said.

The booth was once dominated by the Congress. Later with Mr Banerjee’s efforts, the ruling Trinamul Congress became stronger there by working for the Adivasi and Rava people living in the area, political observers said.
“I have lost my faith in the Trinamul Congress. I was abused by my partymen two days back. Trinamul Congress is not giving importance to local development and that is the reason why I, along with my supporters, joined the Congress on Friday,” said Mr Banerjee.
“I don’t have any information regarding the shuffle. I will be looking into the matter and will talk to them regarding their grievances,” said the district president of the Trinamul Congress, Mohan Sharma.
