TMC's Jahangir Khan Pulls Out Of Falta Contest 2 Days Before Repoll
Trinamool candidate Jahangir Khan on Tuesday announced that he is withdrawing his nomination and will not contest from Falta. The announcement comes just two days before repolling. The votes for the bypoll will be counted on May 24. The BJP secured a landslide victory in Bengal with a huge mandate of 207 seats, forming its first-ever government in the state with Suvendu Adhikari as the Chief Minister. "My objective is to ensure peace and security in Falta, and to foster its maximum possible development. My vision was 'Sonar Falta.' Our Chief Minister is providing a special package for the people of Falta; it is for this very reason that I am withdrawing my nomination. I have withdrawn my candidature in the interest of Falta's development and peace," Khan said.
