Baharampur, the historic seat of Murshidabad, is witnessing a political resurgence as senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury returns to his old stomping grounds. Often referred to as the ‘Robinhood’ of Baharampur by his loyalists, Adhir’s increased presence and grassroots meetings have fueled intense speculation regarding his candidacy for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

For decades, Baharampur was considered an invincible fortress for Adhir Chowdhury. However, the last election saw a tectonic shift, leaving the Congress veteran on the defensive. Determined to make a comeback, Adhir has been seen reconnecting with local workers and addressing public grievances with renewed vigor. His possible candidacy sets the stage for a high-profile contest, especially with Trinamool Congress expected to field a formidable opponent like cricketer-turned-politician Yusuf Pathan once again.

While the Congress High Command is yet to release the official list, political pundits suggest that Adhir is the only candidate capable of putting up a stiff fight in this prestigious seat. His reputation as a local strongman and his deep-rooted connect with the masses remain his biggest assets. As the election fever grips West Bengal, all eyes are on Baharampur to see if its ‘Robinhood’ can secure a historic victory and reclaim his political legacy.
