Trinamool's sitting MP actor Nusrat Jahan, from Basirhat, the constituency of Sandeshkhali, has been dropped from the list of 46 candidates. Pathan was fielded against Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, which Congress will likely field from Baharampur. This was one of the seats with which the Congress-TMC seat-sharing talks hit a roadblock as Mamata did not want to leave the seat to the Congress.
