Sudip Roy Barman a three-time legislator from left-ruled state Tripura, has been elected new congress chief in the state according to the sources. The new leader immediately vowed to oust the ruling Left Front from power.
"This is an enormous task that was bestowed on me. The responsibility to lead the party in the Left ruled state became all the more important because the state would go to crucial assembly polls next year," Barman, an engineer-turned-politician, said.
Barman, 46, replaces former minister Surajit Datta as the president of the Tripura Pradesh Congress. Datta is a member of the Tripura legislative assembly. The announcement was made by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in New Delhi.
"An AICC communique was issued in New Delhi Friday night by party general secretary Janardhan Trivedi appointing Barman as the president of the Tripura party," a Congress spokesman told reporters.
Barman was elected to the state assembly thrice and also headed the party's youth wing for several years.
Barman said: "My top priority would be to unite all the leaders and party factions and go all out to oust the Communist Party of India-Marxist-led Left Front from the helm of affairs."
