Bengal Polls 2021: After BJP, now TMC changes candidates for four seats
Kolkata/IBNS: After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), now the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has changed its candidates for four seats in the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal.
The new names are Aniruddha Biswas in Kalyani, Narayan Goswami in Ashoknagar, Rafiqur Rehman in Amdanga and Debabrata Saha in Dubrajpur.
As per reports, the replacements have been announced after the TMC faced backlash over the candidates in the four constituencies.
Earlier, the TMC had replaced Habibpur candidate Sarala Murmu with Pradeep Baskey.
The BJP too is struggling with the candidate list as the saffron party has replaced Alipurduar candidate, former Chief Economic Advisor Ashok Lahiri, after facing revolt.
Lahiri has been replaced with local strongman Suman Kanjilal who had vehemently opposed the former calling him an "outsider".
