CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury on Friday filed nomination as the lone Left Front candidate for Rajya Sabha elections in West Bengal.
The Rajya Sabha terms of four Left Front leaders -- Yechury, Brinda Karat, Mohammad Amin of CPI(M) and Abani Roy of RSP, besides Trinamool Congress’ Swapan Sadhan Bose -- will end on August 18. The remaining sixth seat has been lying vacant since the death of Independent Arjun Sengupta, who was backed by the Left and Congress in September 2010.
The election will be held on July 22.
