Asok in fray, Left lists 35 candidates
Asok Bhattacharya had said he was not willing to contest elections, but the party is of the opinion that he should contest. The people also want to see Mr Bhattacharya as a candidate. Therefore, he will be fielded from ward 6. Mr Bhattacharya had secured victory in the same ward during the last elections. We are hopeful that the Left Front will win by defeating the Trinamul Congress and the BJP and form the elected civic board this time also,"
