NEW DELHI: A day after the INDIA bloc meeting, Congress<\/a> leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Thursday asked TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee<\/a> to rejoin the Congress along with her remaining MLAs and MPs. However, the invitation came with a condition of \u201cleaving behind her baggage\u201d, an apparent reference to her nephew and TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee.A day after Mamata attended the INDIA bloc meeting in Delhi, Chowdhury said, \u201cThere is no need for any separate entity at this moment. Not much is left of the TMC after its defeat in the assembly elections.\u201d\u201cWe would urge Mamata Banerjee to join the Congress along with all the leftover MLAs and MPs. I will also make this appeal to the Congress high command that let her rejoin the party. We would accept her leadership in Bengal and work with her,\u201d he added.Chowdhury also urged the Congress high command to facilitate the merger and said that Mamata should, as a gesture of cooperation similar to the October 6 Nandigram assembly bypoll, extend support to the Congress candidate in Rejinagar.\u201cAs a friendly gesture, just as she has supported the Congress candidate in Nandigram, she should also extend support to the Congress candidate in Rejinagar,\u201d he said.\u201cAs she has taken shelter in the Congress-led INDIA alliance, she should join the party. In Bengal, we would work under you in Congress,\u201d he added.This comes a day after Mamata Banerjee, following the INDIA bloc meeting in Delhi, asserted that the opposition alliance was \u201cvery much united\u201d as she sought to project a united opposition front while demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.The developments come as the TMC faces one of its deepest organisational crises since its formation following the West Bengal assembly election results, with separate rebellions emerging in its legislative and parliamentary wings.Within weeks of the election verdict, the TMC legislature party split, with 58 rebel MLAs backing expelled leader Ritabrata Banerjee as their leader of the opposition. The assembly speaker subsequently recognised the rival bloc.The rebellion was followed by a parallel churn in the TMC\u2019s parliamentary wing, with rebel MPs also challenging Mamata Banerjee\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
