On Monday, Isha Khan Choudhury, the Congress candidate for the Malda South Lok Sabha seat, expressed assurance that the party’s victory in both North and South Malda in the forthcoming elections will be driven by the public’s support.
“I am standing from South Malda. The situation is improving every day… The voters are making a tactical decision… In 2021, the Congress in the entire West Bengal lost all its MLA seats… Every time an election comes, the BJP starts talking about NRC and CAA, when the election is over, it dies down. The talk about NRC and CAA dies down. The public has become very wary and thinks now that it’s not a serious issue. So they’re voting freely from their heart now so that there’s no fear factor this time… We think that the public is with us, that the Congress will get through in South Malda and hopefully in North Malda also,” he told ANI.
In the electoral contest for the Malda South Lok Sabha constituency, Isha Khan Choudhury from the Congress will compete against Shanawaz Ali Rehan from the TMC and Sreerupa Mitra Chowdhury from the BJP.
