Md. Sohrab is a Congress politician, five-time MLA and Congress legislature party leader in the West Bengal state assembly.

Personal life[edit]

Md. Sohrab, son of Yar Mohammad, is a post-graduate and is a retired head-teacher.[1][2]

Political career[edit]

He was elected to the West Bengal state assembly from Suti (Vidhan Sabha constituency) in 1969,[3] 1971,[4] 1977[5] and 1996,[6] as a Congress candidate.

When he was not given a party ticket to contest in 2001, he filed his nomination in the same constituency as a rebel candidate and lost.[7] At that Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who has a reputation for sponsoring rebels, commented, "Do you expect my former mastermoshai Md Sohrab (rebel candidate from Suti) and five-time MLA Habibur Rahman (rebel candidate from Jangipur) to listen to me?"[8]

In 2011, he won from Jangipur (Vidhan Sabha constituency)[9] and was Congress legislature party leader.[10] He joined All India Trinamool Congress in 2016.[11]
