Saira Shah Halim is CPI(M) candidate in Ballygunge bypoll, to be held on 12 April. She is pitted against TMC’s Babul Supriyo, who is facing flak for previous actions as BJP MP.
TMC is fielding ‘Bihari babu’ Shatrughan Sinha from Asansol LS seat, which it has never won. The party is aiming for non-Bengali votes and a more diverse image, TMC leaders say.
Making the announcement on Twitter, TMC supremo Banerjee shared that Sinha will contest for the Lok Sabha by-election from Asansol seat, and Supiyo for Ballygunge assembly.
Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh met national president JP Nadda Monday and complained about how Babul Supriyo and Saumitra Khan made ‘objectionable’ remarks on social media.
