Adhir Chowdhury is the name of a phenomenon. Two mighty Chief
Ministers, Buddhadev Bhattacharya of the Left Front and Mamata Banerjee of
Trinamool Congress (popularly TMC), pulled out all the stops to crush this
political ‘upstart’.. But, defying a chakravyuh of the Left parties, the
40-year-old Adhir got elected to the assembly from Nabagram constituency in
1996. Three years later, in 1999, he took up a huge challenge by contesting
from Baharampur Lok Sabha constituency, then considered unwinnable by the
Congress, and since remains unbeaten for five consecutive terms.
