Mamta Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress has announced the names of candidates for the West Bengal by-elections today. Former Union Minister Shatrughan Sinha will contest the Lok Sabha bypoll from Asansol while Babul Supriyo will be the candidate for the Assembly bypoll from Ballygunge. Let us inform that the Lok Sabha seat of Bengal had fallen vacant after the resignation of Babul Supriyo, due to which the by-election has to be held here. Apart from this, the Ballygunge assembly seat has fallen vacant after the death of TMC leader Subrata Mukherjee, after which by-elections will now be held here as well.
