Yusuf Pathan, former Indian cricketer, arrived in Kolkata to kickstart his Lok Sabha campaign as a Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate for Berhampore, West Bengal. Amidst initial opposition from TMC MLA Humayun Kabir, who later pledged support, Pathan gears up to challenge Congress stronghold held by Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. TMC workers extend a warm welcome, signaling party's backing for the star candidate. Pathan's candidacy, announced on March 10, adds to TMC's roster for all 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal. With campaign planning underway, Pathan steps into the political arena, aiming for a breakthrough in the upcoming elections.
