  • Congress High Command’s Message:
    Political analysts believe that Chowdhury’s removal sends a clear message from the Congress high command: the party should not be overly critical of Mamata Banerjee or the Trinamool Congress. Additionally, the Congress needs to rethink its alliance with the CPI(M).
  • Uncertainty Over Chowdhury’s Future:
    Despite being removed from his state role, Chowdhury remains a member of the All India Congress Committee’s working committee. However, questions about his future within the party have arisen, especially since he has been a strong critic of Mamata Banerjee.
  • Possible Return to RSP:
    Rumors suggest that if the Congress in West Bengal moves toward an alliance with the Trinamool Congress, Chowdhury might leave the party. Unconfirmed sources indicate that he could rejoin the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), a party he was once affiliated with.
  • Chowdhury’s Resistance to a Trinamool Alliance:
    Chowdhury has consistently opposed any collaboration between Congress and Trinamool in West Bengal. He has blamed Mamata Banerjee for the current weakened state of Congress in the state and has reiterated that he will not accept any political compromise with her.
  • Possibility of Assembly Candidacy:
    There is speculation that the Congress may offer Chowdhury a seat in the upcoming state assembly elections, given his past experience as a legislator from Nabagram. Winning a seat could provide him with a political resurgence.
  • Congress-CPI(M) Alliance at Crossroads:
    The Congress has been in an alliance with the CPI(M) since the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections. However, with only one Lok Sabha seat won by Congress and none by the CPI(M), the alliance’s future is now being reconsidered.
