A tug-of-war between the Congress and the Trinamul Congress over A.B.A. Ghani Khan Choudhury’s political legacy came to the fore once again on Wednesday, the death anniversary of the Malda Congress stalwart.
On Wednesday, leaders of both the parties observed Ghani’s death anniversary, claiming themselves as the “right successors” to his political legacy.
CPM leaders, too, for the first time, went to Kotowali, Ghani’s ancestral house located 10km from here, to offer floral tributes at his tomb.
In the past also, leaders of Trinamul and the Congress had paid tributes to Ghani on his birth anniversary. The Left Front is fighting the current Assembly polls in alliance with the Congress.
