Mausam Benazir Noor, the Malda-based Trinamool Rajya Sabha MP, rejoined the Congress on Saturday, seven years after she had left the party in favour of Bengal’s ruling dispensation in January 2019. Noor was formally inducted into the Congress at the party headquarters in New Delhi, and in the presence of senior leaders. Noor said she was returning to the Congress to uphold the legacy of her uncle and former Congress Union minister A.B.A. Addressing the media, Noor said she intended to work closely with Isha and stressed the need for political change in Bengal. While welcoming Noor back into the party, state Congress president Subhankar Sarkar hinted at more defections in the near future.
