Jun-18-2019

The Indian National Congress on June 18 has named Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary as leader of the party in the 17th Lok Sabha.

Chowdhary is the sitting Member of Parliament (MP) from the Berhampore Lok Sabha constituency in West Bengal. He has held the seat since 1999. Speculation was rife that Chowdhary could be given a key role after he accompanied senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad to the all-party meeting on June 16, ahead of the parliament session. He served as the President of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee from 2014 to 2018.
