Adhir Ranjan's 'resignation' as PCC chief shrouded in mystery

While Chowdhury refused to either confirm or deny the news of his resignation, sources said that the veteran Congressman had chaired a meeting of the state unit of the committee this afternoon. The meeting was convened to review the reasons behind the party's poor performance in the State in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections. Sources said that Chowdhury had made the announcement at the meeting, but had received overwhelming support from the other members and asked to take back his resignation.

However, there is no official confirmation from the Congress leadership on whether his resignation has been accepted. Speculation have already surfaced over who would succeed him.
