Rakesh Tikait, one of the faces of ongoing farmers’ agitation against Narendra Modi government’s new farm laws, held 'Mahapanchayat' ahead of the West Bengal elections in the key battleground Nandigram.

Former Bharatiya Janata Party leader Yashwant Sinha has joined the Trinamool Congress ahead of the upcoming West Bengal assembly elections.

Trinamool Congress delegation met Election Commission officials on Friday and submitted a memorandum demanding an “unbiased probe” into the attack on West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee and called the attack on CM a "deep-rooted conspiracy by the BJP."

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee, who filed her nomination from Nandigram today and was planning to stay another day in her constituency, is being rushed to Kolkata after she attacked in Nandigram. The chief minister has sustained injuries to her leg, sources said.

Retorting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remark at Brigade Ground where he questioned Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Siliguri said that the "poribortan (change) will happen in Delhi, not in Bengal."

Weeks before the upcoming election in Bengal and after an almost theatrical deluge of leaders exiting the Trinamool Congress (TMC), party chair-person Mamata Banerjee released the candidate list for 291 assembly seats on Friday. The three remaining seats in North Bengal, namely Darjeeling, Kurseong and Kalimpong constituencies have been left vacant for the Bimal Gurung faction party ally Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) to nominate their candidates of choice.
