Lok Sabha elections 2024 | Full list of TMC candidates and their constituencies

Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced the list of 42 names for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024 from the State.

Though part of INDIA bloc, the Trinamool Congress is going solo in West Bengal after talks with the Congress for an alliance failed to take off. 

The big names include Mahua Moitra (Krishnanagar), Gopal Lama (Darjeeling), also former Indian cricketer Yusuf Pathan (Berhampore) and actor Shatrughan Sinha (Asansol). TMC party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee is contesting from Diamond Harbour against BJP candidate Abhijith Das Bobby.

Ms. Moitra who was expelled from the Lok Sabha for alleged unethical conduct, had won the Krishnanagar constituency in 2019 election. Amrita Roy from BJP is the opponent for Ms. Moitra.
