The transfer, stated to be first of the various modifications the get together is about to unveil in its organisation, comes a fortnight earlier than the monsoon session of Parliament.
Chowdhury, who represents Baharampur in Lok Sabha, was the face of the get together’s marketing campaign in West Bengal and the chief of the state get together unit. He had been one of many staunchest critics of the G-23 group of leaders and had firmly stood behind the management (learn the Gandhis) when the letter written by 23 senior leaders — looking for wide-ranging modifications within the get together organisation — got here to mild final August. He can also be chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.
After the election defeat in West Bengal in May, Chowdhury stated that the get together couldn’t afford to remain “cocooned” in social media however needed to hit the road and, as Sonia Gandhi had instructed, actively work to assist deliver reduction to Covid sufferers.

The transfer to take away Chowdhury is seen as an try by the Congress to construct bridges with the Trinamool Congress and coordinate the marketing campaign towards the BJP and  TMC, Cong heat up? Sonia set to interchange Adhir as Lok Sabha chief the Modi authorities in Parliament. While the Congress had fought towards the Trinamool in alliance with the Left within the Assembly elections, the central management had largely shunned attacking Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and, in truth, had welcomed her victory.
Chowdhury, then again, was crucial of Banerjee and her authorities.
The Congress has, in truth, on a couple of event thrown its weight behind Banerjee in her post-Assembly election verdict battle with the BJP. The removing of Chowdhury is probably an try by the Congress to make sure that ground coordination with the Trinamool Congress in Parliament is seamless.

Sources stated the Trinamool Congress may attain out to Congress and different opposition events to method the President demanding the recall of the Governor, who it has alleged is functioning in a partisan method. The large query now could be who will succeed Chowdhury because the chief of the Congress get together within the decrease home.
Among the frontrunners are Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor and Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari. Both of them are signatories to the letter written to Gandhi by 23 senior leaders.

If the Congress appoints both Tharoor or Tewari because the chief of the get together in Lok Sabha, it will likely be seen as a major rapprochement effort by the Gandhis forward of the attainable return of Rahul as Congress president.
