After the attack on the party's central leadership by former Congress member Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who expressed reservations on continuing with their alliance with the Trinamool Congress, other leaders from West Bengal within Congress grow disgruntled.
While the party leadership met in Delhi on July 29 to take 23 WBPCC leaders to consider the prospective line for the state, the process of choosing these 23 has become a matter of concern.
Sources in the WBPCC said that for the past three days, at least four Congress leaders—all owing allegiance to Chowdhury—have sent letters to the central command of the party opposing the selection of these leaders.
Those who have written against the selection include party secretary Suman Roy Chowdhury, along with Ashoke Bhattacharya, Ashutosh Chatterjee and Tapan Agarwal.
The first to vent their ire publicly was Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. In a social media post a day after the July 29 meeting, he accused the top brass of the party for not doing enough for state workers who are harassed every day by Trinamool Congress activists in West Bengal.
Chowdhury, through his post, wanted the central leadership to engage with these grassroots Congress workers to understand the real situation on the ground.
"Delhi needs to hear the party workers of West Bengal who are fighting day in and day out for taking up the banner of the party. Their voices are important, and they should be called to Delhi," Chowdhury wrote on social media.
