Kolkata, May 12 : The BJP s MLA count in West Bengal came down to 75 from 77 on Wednesday after two of its MPs, who won the Assembly polls and became MLAs, decided to continue as parliamentarians and resigned from the legislative Assembly.
Cooch Behar MP Nisith Pramanik, who won from Dinhata in the district, and Jagannath Sarkar, BJP MP from Ranaghat who won from Santipur in Nadia district, tendered their resignation to Speaker Biman Banerjee in the state Assembly on Wednesday.
Two BJP parliamentarians who won their seats in the just-concluded Bengal Assembly polls are likely to continue as MPs and will resign from the legislative Assembly, the move leading to byelections in the constituencies within six months.
Nisith Pramanik, the Cooch Behar MP, and Jagannath Sarkar, the MP from Ranaghat, won Assembly seats of Dinhata and Santipur respectively.
“The official announcement is a matter of time. The central leadership is keen that the two continue as MPs,” said a BJP source, adding that the decision had been conveyed to the two Pramanik and Sarkar who are yet to take their oath.
