Pranab Mukherjee could not be much active in his Lok Sabha constituency of Jangipur while he was the foreign minister. But, despite handling the Union finance portfolio, he is more active than ever before. He tours his constituency pretty often and takes initiative for developing his constituency.
During his last tenure, he was more active in the Suti Assembly constituency. He was the man behind bringing a branch of the Aligarh University at Suti under Jangipur Lok Sabha constituency. Apart from that, he brought crores of rupees from the Centre for road projects under Border Area Development project. Rs 20 crore was sanctioned to built a 21 km metal road between Nazirpur and Paraipur and another Rs 28 crore was sanctioned for the Bahutali-Kanupur metal road. Both of these fall under the Suti Assembly seat. But, the last panchayat election witnessed a massive victory for CPM in Suti. The Leftists snatched several gram panchayat (village level) and panchayat samiti (block level) seats and the only zilla parishad seat from the Congress.
Since then he is been active mostly in three constituencies — Raghunathgunj, Jangipur and Sagardighi. He sanctioned Rs 48 crore for clean drinking water projects at Jangipur and Raghunathgunj.
Another Rs 13 crore has been sanctioned for a new railway bridge at Jangipur. His endeavour brought the Ganga-Bhagirathi Padma erosion issue under the National Disaster Management projects, for which the Centre will sanction huge budgetary allocations. He has also sanctioned a scheme for setting up a college at Sagardighi.
“Although Mukherjee has spent generously from his MPLAD funds for all the seven constituencies, one can find more of his generosity in Raghunathgunj for which he has been spending Rs 28 lakh per year,” a highly placed source in the district headquarter informed.
The grapevine has it that Mukherjee may test his fortune from any of the seven constituencies. But Sagardighi has been announced as a reserved seat for the Scheduled Caste and Suti has betrayed his generosity. Considering other segments, it seems Jangipur and Raghunathgunj can be more of his choice. Mukherjee’s son Supriya has been frequenting these segments for the last few months. There was a rumour that Supriya can try his luck but equations in the state politics might inspire ‘Pranab da’ to try his own luck. As local MP, Mukherjee has rented a house at Raghunathgunj. He has renewed the lease for the next five years after the General Election. It seems right now that Raghunathgunj will be his final choice.
