Before taking over as the West Bengal Congress president, Sarkar was the All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary looking after the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Mizoram.

Subhankar Sarkar, the new president of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, highlighted that the coalition dynamics differ at the state and national level.

A shift in West Bengal Congress's approach to CM Mamata Banerjee and the ruling TMC is expected as Subhankar Sarkaras takes over from the hardliner Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.

Newly appointed West Bengal Pradesh Congress (WBPCC) president Subhankar Sarkar on Sunday said that his party would continue to raise its voice against the ruling parties both at the Centre and in the state.

The Congress on Saturday appointed Subhankar Sarkar as the president of its West Bengal unit, replacing Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.

Congress leaders say new PCC president won’t be as vocal a critic of Trinamool as his predecessor Adhir Chowdhury, acceptable to all factions in state unit
