Trinamool Congress revealed its 42 Lok Sabha candidates at a historic Brigade Parade Ground rally in Kolkata. Renowned cricketer Yusuf Pathan, chosen for Baharampur, was a notable inclusion. The list also features Bollywood icon Shatrugan Sinha (Asansol), former footballer (Howrah), and Tollywood stars Rachana Banerjee (Hooghly), June Malia (Medinipur), 'Dev' (Ghatal), and Satabdi Roy (Birbhum). Mahua Moitra, previously expelled in a cash-for-query scandal, will contest from Krishnanagar. Trinamool's mega announcement, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, sets the stage for a dynamic electoral contest. The Congress is yet to name its candidate for Baharampur.
