Kolkata, April 30 (IANS) The Left Front announced Monday its candidates for the Daspur and Bankura assembly seats in West Bengal where by-elections are scheduled on June 12.
While Samar Mukherjee has been nominated as Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) candidate for Daspur constituency, Nilanjan Dasgupta will contest Bankura seat on the party ticket, a Left Front statement said.
