	The RSC rejoined the INC in 1989 after it was unsuccessful in attracting major political figures to its fold and unable to garner wide support. This may have been due to Mukherjee not being a mass leader and never having contested elections. On his return to the party he was welcomed and again joined the top leadership. Since then he has built up an image of a [[Nehru–Gandhi family]] loyalist.<ref>[https://archive.is/20150507052145/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e7099f42-48c3-11de-8870-00144feabdc0.html%23axzz1I4yfTSu0#axzz1I4yfTSu0 Financial Times] 2009-05-25.</ref>		The RSC rejoined the INC in 1989 after it was unsuccessful in attracting major political figures to its fold and unable to garner wide support.
