Kolkata: Veteran Bollywood actor and former Union minister Shatrughan Sinha will be the TMC's candidate in the Lok Sabha by-election from Asansol. It has been announced by Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee herself. At the same time, the TMC has made Babul Supriyo its face for the upcoming by-election to the Baliganj assembly seat.
Let us tell you that one Lok Sabha and 4 assembly seats in Bengal are to be by-elections on April 12. It also includes the Asansol Lok Sabha seat in Bengal, which fell vacant due to Babul Supriyo. Last year, Babul Supriyo had resigned from his Lok Sabha seat Asansol. Thereafter, he left the Bharatiya Janata Party and joined the TMC. Now it is being told that Babul Supriyo can be given a big responsibility by Mamata Banerjee in the assembly.
The same Goa assembly elections and Babul Supriyo in Tripura were given important responsibilities by the party. In both places, Babul had appeared in the new attitude. He had attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party for this. Mamata Banerjee herself has also been constantly questioning the Bharatiya Janata Party. At the same time, Shatrughan Sinha contested Patna Sahib on a Congress ticket in 2019, but there he faced defeat. Subsequently, in the last Bihar assembly elections, his son was given a ticket from Congress but he also suffered defeat. After the continuous defeats during his stay in the Congress, Shatrughan Sinha took on the TMC. Now let's see what Shatrughan Sinha does in Asansol.
