The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has fielded Minakshi Mukherjee against heavyweights Mamata Banerjee (Trinamool Congress) and Suvendu Adhikari (BJP) from the Nandigram Assembly constituency. Mukherjee was announced as the Left-Congress-ISF alliance candidate by Left Front chairman Biman Bose at a press conference. She is the president of the West Bengal unit of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), the CPM-associated youth wing. The firebrand orator joined the DYFI local committee in 2008 and rose through ranks to become the state president in 2018, the same year she made it to the CPM’s state committee. The 36-year-old holds a Masters in Political Science and had been a member of the CPM’s student wing Students’ Federation of India since her college days. The Nandigram Assembly constituency lies in the Purba Medinipur district, and will go to polls in the second phase on 10 April. It is a part of the Tamluk Lok Sabha constituency. Elections for the West Bengal Assembly will be held in eight phases, up from seven last time, beginning with polling for 30 seats on 27 March.
