Putting an end to speculation over its pre-poll seat sharing with the Congress party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday announced candidates for all the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal.
The list of Trinamool Congress candidates had certain surprises, including former cricketers Yusuf Pathan from Berhampore and Kirti Azad from the Bardhaman Durgapur Lok Sabha seat. The party retained veteran MPs, including Sudip Banerjee from Kolkata and Saugata Roy from the Dum Dum Lok Sabha seat, and Kalyan Banerjee from Serampore.
