Sujata Mondal will contest against her former husband Soumitra Khan, a BJP candidate from Bishnupur seat of Bandal's Bankura district.
A divorced couple will face off in the Lok Sabha election in Bengal -- a situation that has become a talking point in the state as the ruling Trinamool Congress announced its candidates list today. Sujata Mondal will contest against her former husband Soumitra Khan, a BJP candidate from Bishnupur seat of Bandal's Bankura district.
The BJP had fielded the leader from Bishnupur earlier this month. Today, Trinamool announced the name of Ms Mondal from the same seat.
The couple got estranged in the run-up to the 2021 assembly election in the state, which was swept by the Trinamool. Mr Khan had announced the divorce on camera when his wife joined politics as a member of the Triamool Congress.
