The BJP, on Saturday evening, has announced candidates for six assembly constituencies in West Bengal that will be going for bypolls on November 13, the counting for which will be on November 23.
The six assembly constituencies that will be going
for polls next month are Sitai in Cooch Behar district, Madarihat in Alipurduar
district, Naihati and Haroa in North 24 Parganas, Medinipur in West Midnapore
district and Taldangra in Bankura district.
As power a statement issued by BJP on Saturday
evening the six candidates are Dipak Kumar Roy from Sitai, Rahul Lohar from
Madarihat, Rupak Mitra from Naihati, Bimal Das from Haroa, Subhajit Roy from
Medinipur and Ananya Roy Chakraborty from Taldangra.
BJP is among the first major political parties
active in West Bengal to announce their candidates for the six assembly
constituencies. The other three major political forces namely the ruling
Trinamool Congress, Congress, and CPI(M)-led Left Front are yet to announce
their candidates for the bypolls.
It is yet uncertain whether the Congress and the Left Front
will continue with their seat-sharing arrangement as they did since the 2016
West Bengal assembly elections.
All these six constituencies are going for by-polls
as their erstwhile MLAs are currently in the Lok Sabha after getting elected
in the general elections this year.
Barring Madarihat, which had an erstwhile BJP
legislator, Trinamool Congress candidates got elected from the remaining five
in the 2021 West Bengal assembly polls.
The by-polls are extremely crucial for both
Trinamool Congress and BJP considering that they will conduct in the backdrop of
the boiling situation in West Bengal amid the rape and murder of a lady
junior doctor of R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata within the
hospital premises in August this year.
