A list of the Trinamool Congress candidates for the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections
Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced the list of 42 names for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024 from the State.
Though part of INDIA bloc, the Trinamool Congress is going solo in West Bengal after talks with the Congress for an alliance failed to take off.
The big names include Mahua Moitra (Krishnanagar), Gopal Lama (Darjeeling), also former Indian cricketer Yusuf Pathan (Berhampore) and actor Shatrughan Sinha (Asansol). TMC party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee is contesting from Diamond Harbour against BJP candidate Abhijith Das Bobby.
Ms. Moitra who was expelled from the Lok Sabha for alleged unethical conduct, had won the Krishnanagar constituency in 2019 election. Amrita Roy from BJP is the opponent for Ms. Moitra.
West Bengal will go to polls in seven phases with voting starting on April 19.
Here is the full list of candidates contesting from TMC:
1. Cooch Behar - Jagadish Chandra Basunia
You must have seen a group of people in similar attire - black kurtas and jeans - in the middle of the street acting out a short skit or play, for anyone who might wish to stop and watch. One might think that it’s just free entertainment. Still, in reality, it is a means for them to reach people of all strata to create an awareness of every societal issue around them and call them to change what they believe is socially unacceptable.
