WB CM Mamata files nomination for Nandigram Assembly seat

 

 

WEST Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday filed her nomination for Nandigram Assembly seat, where she will take on her former protege and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari and exuded confidence of winning it saying, she has never returned empty-handed from the land of anti-farm land acquisition movement. Accompanied by TMC President Subrata Bakshi, Banerjee filed her papers at the Haldia sub-divisional office here after taking part in a 2-km roadshow.

 

She offered prayers at a temple before filing her nomination, and at another after doing so. “I am confident about my victory from the Nandigram Assembly seat. I could have easily contested from Bhawanipur seat (which she represents). “When I had visited Nandigram in January, there was no MLA from here as the sitting MLA had resigned. I looked at the faces of the common people and decided to contest from here,” she said after filing her paper.
