Roopa Ganguly arrested during protest of student's death in Bansdroni, gets bail
In its 8th list of candidates for the upcoming elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made significant changes, notably cancelling actor-turned-politician Sunny Deol's ticket from Gurudaspur. Instead, former IPS officer Debashish Dhar has been nominated to contest from Birbhum constituency in West Bengal. Dhar's entry into the electoral fray marks a strategic move by the BJP, leveraging his background in law enforcement to bolster their electoral prospects.
Additionally, the BJP allotted tickets to other candidates, including Pranat Tudu from Jhargram and Dinesh Singh Babbu, who replaced Sunny Deol in Gurudaspur. These developments underscore the BJP's efforts to optimize its candidate roster, balancing factors such as regional representation and individual merit.
