Kolkata: The Trinamool Congress on Sunday announced the names for all 42 Lok Sabha seats for the upcoming Lok Sabha election 2024 — in a major snub to the INDIA bloc as the Congress maintained that the seat-sharing talks with the partner were going on.
The names were announced by Abhishek Banerjee, who will be contesting from the Diamond Harbour constituency – at the Brigrade Ground march. Former cricketer Yusuf Pathan will be Trinamool’s candidate from Baharampur possibly contesting against Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. In other major takeaways from Trinamool’s list, sitting MP actor Nusrat Jahan (Basirhat — the constituency of Sandeshkhali) has been dropped from the 2024 list.
Mahua Moitra who was expelled from the Lok Sabha in a bribe-for-question scam will be contesting from the Krishnanagar Lok Sabha constituency, the seat that sent her to the Lok Sabha in 2019.
