'''Biplobi Bangla Congress''' (BBC) is a [[political party]] in [[West Bengal]], [[India]]. The party emerged as a splinter group of [[Bangla Congress]] ahead of the 1971 elections of [[West Bengal]].

<br />
== History ==<br />
Formation of BBC by the late Sukumar Roy is an important part in the history of [[Politics of West Bengal]]. Congress party hold the power of state for the first two decades after [[Partition of India|partition]], before trying out another grouping in 1967. At that time, the first United Front government came to power with [[Ajoy Mukherjee]] of the [[Bangla Congress]] (a Congress splinter group) as chief minister and [[Jyoti Basu]] as deputy chief minister. Thereafter followed four years of political instability due to the Naxalite rebellion and police counter-action, the Congress muscled its way back to power in the rigged 1972 elections,{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} when even [[Jyoti Basu]] lost his assembly seat to a nonentity by 40,000 votes. In 1977, the voters brought the Biplobi Bangla Congress and Left Front merged to power, with latter retaining the title and from since then they remained firm as the ruling party of [[West Bengal]] for 34 years. <br />
<br />
Some Prominent leaders of Biplobi Bangla Congress are Late Nirmalendu Bhattacharya, Late Gouranga Samanta, Ashis Chowdhury, Late Sunil Chowdhury, Deepak Senroy (SUBRATA ROY). <br />
