MIDNAPORE, 13 AUG: Hema Choubey, an AICC member in Kharagpur joined Trinamul Congress after deserting Congress with which she had been associated since 2009.

She took the party flag from the Trinamul Congress district president Ajit Maity at Malancha in Kharagpur yesterday. Another Congress leader Debangshu Gangopadhyay, a former Kharagpur Town Congress president also joined Trinamul Congress along with Choubey at Malancha.

Choubey is familiar as a daughter-in-law of the former veteran CPI leader late Narayan Choubey.

Choubey was with Trinamul Congress, which she joined, inspired by Mamata Banerjee, in 2001 after her husband Goutam Choubey was killed by some miscreants on that year. Goutam joined Trinamul Congress in 2001 and he was killed on that day at Malancha when he was declared as a Trinamul Youth Congress district president.

Since that time, Hema Choubey became associated with Trinamul Congress and she was a Trinamul Congress candidate from Panskura in 2004 parliamentary polls.

In 2006, she wanted to be a candidate from Kharagpur assembly seat, but relation with Debashis Choudhury, a close friend of Goutam Choubey turned worst for this reason. That time, Debashis was a TMC candidate. Later, in 2009, Choubey joined Congress and was a jote candidate (Congres-Trinamul) in the 2011 assembly election from Garbeta.

In 2014, she again deserted Congress and joined Trinamul for some days. After a few days, Choubey again returned to Congress dumping Trinamul.

This time, she again took the Trinamul Congress flag from the party’s district president.

“Trinamul Congress leaders including Kharagpur MLA Pradip Sarkar wanted me to come back in Trinamul. So, I decided to join the party. This apart, in Kharagpur, Congress doesn’t have leaders left after Chacha’s (Gyan Sing Sohonpal) death”, Choubey said.
