Battle for Bengal: Over one-fourth of Trinamool MLAs dropped or given new seats Jayanta Ghosal
Since March 5, when Mamata Banerjee announced her candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal, dissent has been brewing in the Trinamool Congress camp. As expected, a number of sitting MLAs were denied tickets, some of whom have now announced their grievances publicly.
In fact, the Trinamool has dropped 28 sitting MLAs, including five ministers. While finance minister Amit Mitra has not been given a ticket due to ill health, the others include Cabinet ministers Purnendu Bose and Abdur Razzak Mollah, and junior ministers Ratna Kar Ghosh and Bachchu Hansda.
