===Polls of Kolkata Municipal Corporation===
Ahead of the civic polls in 2005, Mukherjee quit Trinamool Congress following differences with the party chief, and joined the [[Nationalist Congress Party]]. He was able to cobble up an alliance with Congress and several marginal players under the platform of Paschimbanga Unnayan Mancha. Although he was able to get elected to the corporation, his front suffered a humiliating defeat.

Even after leaving Trinamool Congress, he did not resign as a Trinamool member in the legislative assembly until the end of its term in 2006.

===Later career===
In the 2006 state elections, he came third in the Chowranghee seat as a Congress candidate. In 2006, the Congress had also fielded Mukherjee for the biennial election for a [[Rajya Sabha]] seat, but he failed to win.

In 2009, he fought from [[Bankura_(Lok_Sabha_constituency)|Bankura Lok Sabha constituency]] on the Congress ticket and lost.

In May 2010, Mukherjee left the Indian National Congress again and rejoined Trinamool Congress, leaving the post of Pradesh Congress Working President.<ref>[https://archive.today/20130629113354/http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Kolkata/Subrata-Mukherjee-joins-Trinamool/Article1-539889.aspx Subrata Mukherjee joins Trinamool], hindustantimes.com; accessed 2 November 2015.</ref> He contested the 2011 Assembly elections from the Ballygunge seat.
