Ranaghat, Apr 13 :: Ranaghat Lok Sabha constituency is expected to witness a close battle this time between ruling Trinamool congress (TMC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) even as the former is enjoying an edge riding on the sympathy wave following the killing of sitting MLA Satyajit Biswas. In a surprising move, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee has nominated slain party MLA Satyajit Biswas’s wife Rupali as the party candidate to fight the Lok Sabha poll from the Ranaghat (SC) constituency replacing sitting MP Professor Tapas Mandal. Satyajit was shot dead by unknown assailants during the inauguration of a Saraswati Puja on February 10 this year.(agency)
