Yusuf Pathan Emerges as Trinamool’s Challenger in Baharampur Amidst Political Maneuvering
Desk Report, March 10, 2024: In a strategic move before the 2024 elections, Trinamool Congress unveiled candidates for all 42 Lok Sabha seats on Sunday. Abhishek Banerjee, in a Brigade Ground march announcement, revealed this development amidst ongoing seat-sharing talks with the INDIA bloc. The Congress affirms that negotiations are actively underway.
Among the revelations, former cricketer Yusuf Pathan emerges as Trinamool’s nominee for the Baharampur constituency. This move poses a potential challenge to the Congress stronghold represented by Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury since 1999.

As the political landscape unfolds, Yusuf Pathan’s entry adds an unexpected twist to the narrative. Stay tuned for more updates on this dynamic political shift.
