West Bengal assembly elections: As the Bengal assembly polls are a month away, the Trinamool Congress chief and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee released the 291 names of candidates for West Bengal assembly seats ahead of polling, to be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29. The vote counting will be conducted on May 4. Amid the names, one key name was missing, that of, former West Bengal education minister Parth Chatterjee. He has been suspended from the TMC since his conviction in the cash-for-jobs scam.
