Pratima Bhoumik’s nomination to boost BJP in Tripura assembly elections

The Hindu  

As the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party announced the first list of 48 candidates for the Tripura Assembly election on Saturday, one name that did not come as a surprise was that of Union Minister of State Pratima Bhoumik, who will contest from her home Dhanpur constituency. Ms. Bhowmik contested the 2018 Assembly election from Dhanpur but lost to former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar. But this is unlikely to happen as the party leadership seems intent on continuing with Manik Saha as Chief Minister if the BJP wins the election. Another feature of the BJP’s first list is the presence of septuagenarian leaders like Ratan Lal Nath, Ratan Chakraborty, and Rebati Mohan Das.
