Nandigram, the cradle of the land movement against multinational corporations, has added a new dimension to politics by announcing the candidacy of two-time Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. However, the main opposition party in the state, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), sees “politics” in Mamata’s decision.

The seats to be assigned by Congress or the ISF will be announced later by interested parties, said the president of the Left Front. However, in the first phase, East Midnapore Egra, Kashipur in Purulia, and Garbeta in West Midnapore also have votes. Similarly, in the second phase, it was not decided which party would present candidates in the Nandigram, Pingla and Daspur centers. In West Bengal, the first phase of the eight-phase elections will take place on March 26.
The Minister of Technical Education and Training, Purnendu Basu, has been removed from Mamata’s list. Aditi Munshi, a musician who joined Trinamool 24 hours ago, has become Trinamool’s candidate in Rajarhat-Gopalpur, the center of Purnendu. She is the wife of Devraj Chakraborty, a local Trinamool councilor and president of Parganas Northern District 24 Youth Trinamool. The Minister of Food Processing and Horticulture, Abdur Rezzak Mollah, was not nominated. According to party sources, Rezzak, a member of the Left Front cabinet, received an “exemption” due to his age. Another downtown Trinamool ticket seeker, former MLA Arabul Islam, was also disappointed. Former CPM leader Dr. Bhangra has become a grassroots candidate. Mohammad Rezaul Karim. The outgoing MLA from the Tapan Center (scheduled) in southern Dinajpur and North Bengal’s Minister of State for Development Bachchu Hansda have been left out. Kalpana Kisku got the ticket there. The Minister of State for Small and Medium Industry, Ratna Ghosh, has also been removed from Trinamool’s list of candidates. He was the Chakdaha MLA in Nadia. There, Trinamool leader Mamata gave tickets to Shubhankar, son of Ranaghat North-West MLA Shankar Singh. According to Trinamool sources, Ratna was not nominated as a candidate due to opposition from the local leadership.
According to the previous announcement, Prime Minister Mamata has become the candidate in Nandigram, the cradle of the movement for land. Mamata has handed over her previous post in Bhabanipur to veteran minister of state and politician Shobhandev Chattopadhyay. Mamata had previously announced that he would fight from Nandigram. He won from Bhabanipur in 2011 and 2016. As a result, there was curiosity in the political arena about the Bhabanipur candidate. Mamata has chosen Shobhandev as the first Trinamool MLA for Bhabanipur. Because after the death of Haimi Basu, the Baruipur MLA Congress in South 24 Parganas, Shobhandev won the by-election of that constituency and entered the assembly as the first Trinamool MLA. This time Mamata gave up her seat to that Shobhandev. However, the state’s main opponent, the BJP, sees “politics” in the decision. The party’s state chairman Dilip Ghosh tweeted: “Fearing certain defeat, Mamata took a historic leap from Bhabanipur to Nandigram. But you can’t hide even if you run. Forget Nandigram. No seat in Bengal is safe for Mamata. In words From BJP Frontline Leader Shishir Bajoria, “It should be understood that the Chief Minister has allowed Bhabanipur to be fought by an experienced and well-trained politician. Had he been so confident, he could have had a star candidate run in Bhabanipur and He won with a smile. But he didn’t. This shows that the Chief Minister is not sure about Bhabanipur. Shishir further states that the center of Bhabanipur inhabited by non-Bengalis is no longer safe for the bases. Realizing that, Mamata heads to Nandigram Just as Nandigram is the main focal point of this year’s elections, Bhabanipur is the second focal point of electoral attraction. Yes as Mamata has challenged herself as a candidate in Nandigram, at the same time Mamata has taken up a greater challenge by presenting Shobhandev as a candidate in Bhabanipur. Because standing in Nandigram, he said, Bhabanipur is his ‘older sister’. This time he gave Shovandev the responsibility of protecting his older sister in the boxing ring.
