Chowdhary has himself confirmed his resignation, saying that he was only a President of party’s state unit.
Adhir Ranjan Talked about the reasons behind his then appointment as state president and resignation. He said, “Since the time Mallikarjun Kharge became the Congress’ National President, there was no state President. Now when the full-time President will be appointed you will all come to know that.”

Chowdhury had consistently expressed his beliefs on an electoral alliance with the Left Front, led by the CPI(M). Indeed, his disagreements with Kharge also emerged during the Lok Sabha elections.
After he announced his resignation, rumours about who might succeed him began to circulate.
The inside sources revealed that the only congress MP from the state, Isha Khan Chowdhury, is one of the frontrunners for the chair.
