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.
