Trinamool Congress made headlines on Sunday by unveiling its lineup for all 42 Lok Sabha seats in the upcoming 2024 elections. The announcement, led by Abhishek Banerjee at a spirited rally held at Brigade Ground, showcased the party's strategic choices.
Among the notable mentions, Abhishek Banerjee himself will vie for victory from the Diamond Harbour constituency, solidifying his commitment to the party's cause.
A surprising addition to the roster is former cricketer Yusuf Pathan, nominated to represent the Baharampur seat. This move sets the stage for an intriguing contest, particularly against Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the incumbent MP for the constituency.
In a shift that raised eyebrows, popular sitting MP Nusrat Jahan finds herself omitted from the list, signaling a recalibration in Trinamool's candidate selection process. Meanwhile, Mahua Moitra, despite past controversies, earns a reiteration of trust as she secures a renomination for the Krishnanagar Lok Sabha constituency.
Adding to the diversity of the lineup, Kirti Azad emerges as a key contender, slated to contest from the Bardhaman-Durgapur constituency in West Burdwan district.
Furthermore, the candidacy of actor Saayoni Ghosh for the Jadavpur constituency comes on the heels of Mimi Chankraborty's decision to step away from politics, underscoring the dynamic shifts within the party's leadership landscape.
Overall, Trinamool Congress' announcement sets the stage for an engaging electoral battle, with a blend of established faces and fresh entrants poised to represent the party's vision for progress and prosperity.
