Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir from Bharatpur in Murshidabad has voiced discontent over the nomination of former cricketer Yusuf Pathan as the candidate from Baharampur constituency. Kabir expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that he may take significant steps following the declaration of the voting day, including potentially forming a new team if necessary. Trinamool's announcement of Pathan's candidacy for the upcoming Jangarjan Sabha elections, alongside 41 other candidates, has stirred controversy within the party ranks.
The nomination of Yusuf Pathan, amidst Trinamool's candidate list unveiling, has sparked discord within the party, with Kabir's discontent signaling potential internal rifts. Kabir expressed willingness to accept Pathan's candidacy if it had been endorsed by the state leadership, highlighting a perceived lack of consultation or acknowledgment of local sentiments. His declaration of non-acceptance reflects simmering tensions over candidate selection processes within Trinamool Congress.
The unfolding controversy surrounding Yusuf Pathan's nomination underscores broader concerns over party cohesion and decision-making transparency, as Trinamool prepares for crucial electoral battles in the upcoming Jangarjan Sabha polls. Kabir's outspoken disapproval hints at possible challenges ahead for the party's unity and electoral strategies in Murshidabad, a region of political significance in West Bengal.
