Bengal: Adhir Chowdhury refuses to soften stand against Mamata Banerjee despite Delhi show of opposition unity

Kolkata, Nov 4 (UNI) Even as former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee declared "My leader Sonia Gandhi" at the Opposition rally at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi on Sunday, former Congress state president and Congress Working Committee member, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, made it clear on Wednesday that he had no intention of abandoning his opposition to the Trinamool Congress leadership.
Speaking at a press conference at the district Congress office in Berhampore, Chowdhury asserted that his political position on Banerjee remained unchanged despite the recent display of bonhomie between the Trinamool Congress and national Congress leaders.
"For the past 15 years, the Congress has been devastated by Trinamool's atrocities. Our organisation was weakened because of the atrocities committed by the Trinamool Congress. These are facts that cannot be denied. Therefore, I am not withdrawing my opposition to Mamata Banerjee," Chowdhury said.
