The West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee (WBPCC), formerly known as the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee in Colonial India, is the unit of the Indian National Congress for the state of West Bengal. It is responsible for the organization and management of the party's activities and campaigns in the state, as well as selecting candidates for local, state, and national elections. The most recent president of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee was Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who held that position from 2020 to 2024 and previously from 2014 to 2018.
The Indian National Congress led India for most of the nation's post-independence history. This secular, center-left party's leader is Rahul Gandhi, whose father, grandmother and great-grandfather were prime ministers.
Electorally, both the left-leaning Communist parties (and allies) and the centre-left Indian National Congress (and allies) have been active in Kerala.
Meanwhile, in the last four years, there has been a shift in social content and strategy of the BJP and the major opposition party, centre-left Indian National Congress (INC).
