Mamata's Nandigram candidate withdraws, meets Suvendu Adhikari

Sanchita Pradhan Dey, the Nandigram candidate backed by Mamata Banerjee's faction, has withdrawn her candidature following a meeting with Suvendu Adhikari. The move marks a significant development in the internal tensions within the Trinamool Congress over the seat.

The Mamata-led faction had nominated Pradhan Dey for the constituency, while a rival faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee had fielded Mohammad Eteshamul Haque. The withdrawal raises questions about coordination within the party ahead of the election.
