FRESH BLOOD IN LEFT FRONT CANDIDATE LIST
149 candidates out of total 294 seats are new faces, said Biman Basu while declaring the candidates’ list of the Left Front for the forthcoming assembly election in West Bengal. The introduction of these new faces is nothing new in left tradition, added Basu, mntioning that the number was 134 in the previous assembly election. However, names for two seats have not been declared today.
Basu declared the candidate list today (13th March) after the state Left Front committee meeting. The meeting of the CPI (M) state committee held on 12th and 13th March. CPI (M), the largest party of the Left Front is going to contest in 210 seats, Forward Block is going to contest in 34 seats, RSP is going to contest in 23 seats, CPI is going to contest in 14 seats, Socialist Party is going to contest in 5 seats, DSP is going to contest in 2 seats, Marxist Forward Block is going to contest in 2 seats, RCPI in 2seats, BBC and RJD are going to contest in 1 seat each.
The candidate list represents all sections of the society. There are 46 female candidates in the list. In the previous assembly election it was 34. There is considerable representation of schedule caste and schedule tribes. In totality there are 84 constituencies reserved for SC/ST candidates. The Left Front has nominated 11 more such candidates (including 2 OBC candidates) from the unreserved general seats. The list also reads the name of 65 minority candidates, among them 57 candidates come from Muslim community.
Seven ministers are not going to contest elections. ‘But they would concentrate on organizational responsibilities and the left front workers do not hanker for being candidates’, added Biman Basu. Moreover he said the ministers themselves were not keen enough to contest the election either due to health hazards or increasing organizational responsibilities.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee will be contesting from Jadavpur constituency, Nirupam Sen will be contesting from Burdwan South, Dr. Suryakanta Mishra from Narayangarh and Gautam Deb will be contesting from Dumdum.
