Mamata to Contest Bengal Polls from Suvendu Home Turf Nandigram, Won't Abandon Bhawanipur Either

News 18  

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Monday that she will contest the upcoming elections in the state from Nandigram, the seat held by rebel Suvendu Adhikari who joined the BJP. Looks like, once again, TMC has come up with this well thought strategy to field Mamata from Nandigram considering it is a minority dominated region as well as the seat that was held by Adhikari. Whether it be me or anyone whom the BJP chooses to contest from Nandigram, will beat Mamata by over half lakh votes,” Adhikari said at his rally. BJP’s Amit Malviya said, “Mamata Banerjee’s decision to shift seat from Bhowanipore to Nandigram, for the first time in 10 years, indicates her political nervousness… Will she explain why IPS Satyajit Bandopadhyay, chargesheeted by CBI for firing on protesting farmers in Nandigram, was inducted in TMC?” The BJP poses a tough fight in the West Bengal in the upcoming elections with several TMC leaders having joined the party.
