Lok Sabha polls: Mamata Banerjee to announce TMC candidate list today
Kolkata, Mar 12 (IBNS/UNI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will announce her party Trinamool Congress (TMC)'s candidate list for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls on Tuesday afternoon.
Banerjee will hold a press conference at her residence at 3:15 pm.
She said her priority is to ensure tickets to 35 per cent winnable women candidates.
She told her party man to ensure victory in all the 42 seats in 2019 elections as she called upon the people to end the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule at the Centre.
Party sources said there will be around eight to ten new faces.
Banerjee on Monday hit out at the BJP for planning to disturb West Bengal by holding seven-phase elections.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the TMC had won 34 seats.
However, TMC MP Saumitra Khan switched to the BJP early this year.
