Abhijit Mukherjee had won the 2012 and 2014 elections from the Jangipur Lok Sabha seat in Bengal on a Congress ticket. Congress gave him a ticket from the same seat in 2019 but he did not get success.

Former President late Pranab Mukherjee`s son Abhijit Mukherjee joined the Trinamool Congress on Monday in a major setback to the Congress. He took membership of the party on the occasion of a program organized at Trinamool Bhavan in Kolkata. During this, TMC leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay and TMC state general secretary and minister Partha Chatterjee were present in the Lok Sabha.

Abhijit Mukherjee praised Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after joining TMC. He said that the way Mamata Banerjee stopped the communal wave of BJP in the recent assembly elections, I am sure that in future she will be able to do so across the country with the support of other parties.

Along with this, he said, “I was not included in any group or post of the Congress party other than the primary membership. That`s why I have joined TMC as a soldier and will work as per the directions of the party. I will work to maintain integrity and secularism.”

Recently Abhijit Mukherjee had a meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee`s MP nephew and TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee. Since then his speculations of joining TMC had intensified.
