Handing the flag of the party to Saha, Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President Sudip Roy Burman said this was the homecoming of the leader who was a minister in the state cabinet when Congress was in power in 1988-93.

Saha told reporters that he had joined the TMC with high hope that the party would be able to launch a strong fight against the ruling CPI-M, but his aspiration was not fulfilled.
