Trinamool's ticket distribution sparks discontent, list of disgruntled leaders grows

Kolkata: List of disgruntled Trinamool leaders, who did not get Lok Sabha tickets, is long and they continue to express their unhappiness over the issue of not getting tickets. After sitting Barrackpore MP Arjun Singh left the party and rejoined BJP, Congress icon Gani Khan family descendant & Rajya Sabha MP Mousam Noor today expressed her unhappiness as her name as candidate was not announced by Trinamool from Malda North and said she expected to fight the seat.

Noor, new to the addition of the list, today said, "I had expectations of fighting from Malda North. Earlier, I fought from the same seat in 2019 and got defeated. There was division of vote as two members of our same family-we have fought. However, it is the decision of my party supremo and top leadership to decide who will fight in which seat. I am here and will fight as the soldier of my fight." Trinamool has announced the name of former top cop Prasun Banerjee for the Malda Uttar seat.

Earlier, Bardhaman leader Sunil Mondal, former Rajya Sabha MP Santanu Sen and Barrackpore MP Arjun Singh spoke about their unhappiness for not getting a ticket.


Sunil Mondal had said that he was a victim of internal party politics and did not get the ticket. "However, I will continue to work for the party," Mondal had said.

Trinamool former Rajya Sabha MP Santanu Sen has also said that he did not get the nomination for Rajya Sabha but still he will fight for the party for Lok Sabha polls. He also noted that he expected a ticket from Dumdum Constituency, which is being fought by sitting MP Saugata Ray.

Humayun Kabir, who is also a disgruntled leader from Murshidabad, said he was unhappy when he did not get the ticket from Baharampur. Kabir was unhappy that an outsider Yusuf Pathan was fielded from Baharampur.

"Afterwards, Abhishek Banerjee called me and discussed the issue with me. I have the responsibility to make Trinamool win the Constituency," Kabir said. Today during Yusuf Pathan's campaign, Kabir accompanied him.
