Basundhara Goswami, the daughter of late RSP heavyweight Kshiti Goswami, said she firmly believed Trinamool is capable of thwarting BJP's communal politics.
Basundhara Goswami, the daughter of late RSP heavyweight and former West Bengal minister Kshiti Goswami, who created a flutter by being nominated a Trinamool candidate in the upcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) poll, on Saturday said she firmly believed that Mamata Banerjee's party is capable of thwarting BJP's communal politics.
She said that this was the reason why she accepted the offer to contest the KMC poll, which will be held on December 19.
Ms Goswami, a left student activist since her college days, had been nominated by Trinamool candidate from ward number 96 in south Kolkata on Friday.
"I am contesting the civic poll as a Trinamool Congress candidate as I firmly believe that Mamata Banerjee can repulse the BJP and throw challenge to it," she told reporters on Saturday.
