Suri West Bengal Congress president Pranab Mukherjee has been elected president of the managing committee of a college in his home district of Birbhum, defeating a Left-backed candidate for the first time in the past 30 years.

Mukherjee secured seven votes in the election, held yesterday, for the post of president of the 12-member managing committee of Avedananda college at Sainthia, which had been dominated by Left candidates for three decades.

Principal Biman Chowdhury, who was the returning officer, said he was happy that the country’s finance minister will head the managing committee of his college.

Mukherjee chose to fight for the post on the request of the son of a former president of the party’s unit in Birbhum late Nihar Dutta, sources in the district Congress said.
