Leader Online Desk : Trinamool Congress president and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who announced to contest the Lok Sabha elections on her own, has now received a challenge from home. After the announcement of the candidates for 42 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state, now there is a discussion in the political circle that Swapan alias Baboon Banerjee will contest as an independent from Howrah Lok Sabha constituency. Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee has announced that she has severed ties with her younger brother Swapan alias Baboon Banerjee after opposing the Trinamool Congress decision.
What is the reason for the displeasure?
Swapan aka Baboon Banerjee is Mamata Banerjee's younger brother. Trinamool Congress has announced Prasun Banerjee as candidate from Howrah constituency. Prasoon Banerjee is a former football player. He has also won two consecutive elections from Howrah Lok Sabha Constituency. Mamta Banerjee's brother Babun has expressed his displeasure as Trinamool Congress has once again nominated him.
Will contest elections as an independent if necessary: ​​Swapan Banerjee
I am unhappy with the candidate selection in Howrah Lok Sabha Constituency. Prasoon Banerjee is not a suitable choice. Competent candidates have been overlooked. I will not forget Prasun's insult to me. I know that Mamatadi will not agree with my opinion. However, he has also warned that if necessary, he will contest the election as an independent from Howrah Lok Sabha constituency. I will never leave Trinamool Congress as long as Mamatadi is there. He has also clarified that he will not join any other political party.
From today no one will recognize him as my brother: Mamata Banerjee
“As people grow older, their greed also increases. There are total 32 people in our family. I don't consider him (Swapan aka Baboon Banerjee) as a family member. From today no one will recognize him as my brother,” said Mamata Banerjee.
When Mamata Banerjee is facing a big challenge from BJP in the Lok Sabha elections, now her brother has warned her to enter the election arena as an independent. What decision does Swapan aka Baboon Banerjee take now? This has attracted the attention of the state along with Trinamool supporters in Howrah Lok Sabha constituency.
