CPI stalwart and sitting MP from Panskura Gurudas Dasgupta will contest from Ghatal constituency which was formed after delimitation in place of Pashkura.

Deputy leader of CPI(M) in 14th Lok Sabha Md. Selim was re-nominated from the Kolkata (North) constituency.

While big brother CPI(M) has failed to nominate young candidates, three of RSP’s four candidates are new faces.

Both the RSP and Forward Bloc have dropped sitting MPs. The Forward Bloc changed its Barasat sitting MP Subrata Bose who was replaced by Sudin Chatterjee, a known face in CPI(M) headquarters at Alimuddin Street.

As was expected, the list does not carry Somnath Chatterjee’s name. In place of the former speaker, CPI(M) candidate Ram Chandra Dome will contest the elections from Bolpur, which was declared a reserved constituency after delimitation.
