Kolkata: Chandra Kumar Bose, the grandnephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, on Sunday joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) ahead of the upcoming state Assembly elections in West Bengal.
He was inducted into the party in the presence of West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu and TMC MP and former cricketer Kirti Azad.
Welcoming the “eminent socio-political activist” into the party, TMC said, “We extend our wholehearted welcome to Shri Chandra Kumar Bose and look forward to his wealth of experience enriching our mission of selfless service to the people of Bengal.”
Chandra Kumar Bose had resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2023. Citing ideological differences, Bose had ended his almost nine years of association with the saffron party. Last month, he called joining the BJP a “historic mistake”.
He has also strongly voiced his opinions against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in West Bengal.
The West Bengal elections are set to be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29. The counting of votes is scheduled to take place on May 4.
