The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) announced on Tuesday, March 17, that it will contest 291 seats in the West Bengal elections. It has left three Hill constituencies in Darjeeling for the Bharatiya Gorkha Prajatantrik Morcha (BGPM), led by Anit Thapa. The press conference took place at Mamata Banerjee’s Kalighat residence in the afternoon.
The Trinamool Congress has fielded over 50 women and 47 minority candidates, signalling its emphasis on social representation alongside electoral strategy.
The selections reflect a mix of sitting MLAs, organisational leaders and new entrants across regions.
