South Maldah: Abu Hasem Khan Chowdhury

Jangipur- Abhijit Mukhopadhyay

Murshidabad – Abu Hena

A few days ago, the Left Front announced its list of candidates for 25 of the state’s 42 Parliamentary seats.

The list included the name of Congress leader Dr Rezaul Karim.

Karim is the chairman of the state Medical Cell of the Congress.

However, the list did not mention Karim as a Left candidate, but as an Independent candidate from the Birbhum seat.

With the failure of chance of an alliance, there will be multi-cornered contest in the state.
