West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will take on her lieutenant-turned-arch-rival, BJP's Suvendu Adhikari, in south Kolkata's Bhabanipur constituency in the upcoming Assembly polls, making this poll battle the clash of the titans this election season.
Banerjee, and her nephew and Trinamool general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, announced the names of 291 candidates for the two-phase election to be held on April 23 and April 29. She said Trinamool won't contest three seats in Darjeeling as part of an understanding with the Bharatiya Gorkha Prajatantrik Morcha.
