KOLKATA: The Congress on Monday introduced applicants for 25 constituencies within the state and made up our minds not to contest from Jadavpur and Bankura. While it has already introduced names of applicants for the 11 constituencies earlier, the birthday celebration has made up our minds to deliver a marvel candidate for the Kolkata Uttar seat, sources stated. The Congress election committee, which persevered meeting until overdue evening, is but to come to a decision on Asansol and Ghatal seats.
The marvel element is also likely to come with the Congress president Rahul Gandhi giving a move forward to nomination of former CPM legislator Lakshman Seth. Three-time MP from Tamluk Seth, who had joined the Congress barely a month back, was handpicked by way of the birthday celebration’s Bengal president Somen Mitra. After being expelled from the CPM, Seth had joined the BJP for a brief while in 2015. While he was scheduled to enroll in the Congress a couple of months back, lack of consensus amongst birthday celebration members had put his induction on dangle for some time. “I know most of the Congress workers personally. It will not be tough for me to earn their believe,” Seth stated.
Former president Pranab Mukherjee’s sister-in-law Suvra Ghosh was nominated from the Howrah constituency. Ghosh, who's a vice president with the Pradesh Congress Committee, would be the first timer. Mita Chakraborty, an entrepreneur and managing director of a generation resolution company was fielded from Kolkata Dakshin constituency. Mita, an active member of the Professional Congress, has already been the state coordinator of the Congress’ social media crew.
Congress leader from Purulia, Nepal Mahato is a two-time MLA from Purulia’s Baghmundi. Close to Somen Mitra, Mahato was appointed a working president of the birthday celebration after Mitra assumed the office of president. Amid rumours of his switching facet, Congress workers in Purulia started writing partitions in favour of Mahato, even earlier than his identify was introduced. Pradesh Mahila Congress president Subrata Datta has additionally been nominated to contest from Barasat.
