Trinamul Congress leadership in East Midnapore has begun a search for a temporary address for Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram from where she is likely to contest in the Assembly polls.
The chief minister herself announced her desire to contest from Nandigram, the site of her anti-land acquisition protest, during a January 18 mega rally in Tekhali as she threw the gauntlet down at former aide Suvendu Adhikari who defected to the BJP in December.
Sources said her candidature in Nandigram was likely to be confirmed by the state Trinamul leadership later this week before the beginning of the nomination filing window of March 5-12.
