The former Indian Cricketer Yusuf Pathan’s Thanks to Mamata Banerjee’s TMC for Lok Sabha Election Opportunity As A MP Candidate Against BJP In 2024.

The incumbent Congressman Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who has occupied the seat since 1999, is anticipated to oppose the former Indian cricket player.

In his acceptance speech, Yusuf Pathan, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate from West Bengal‘s Berhampore constituency in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, expressed gratitude to TMC leader and chief minister Mamata Banerjee. He also mentioned the need for people’s representatives to strive toward “uplifting the poor and deprived.”

“I will always be appreciative to @MamataOfficial for extending a warm welcome to me as a member of the TMC family and for entrusting me with the duty of representing the people in the Parliament.

It is our responsibility as representatives of the people to raise the impoverished and deprived, and that is what I aim to accomplish,” Pathan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, a few hours after the party’s statement on Sunday.
