Denied a ticket, the BJP’s sitting legislator from Kurseong Assembly constituency, one of the seven under Darjeeling Lok Sabha, Bishnu Prasad Sharma, is contesting as an Independent candidate this time from Darjeeling.

Darjeeling, this time, has a total of 14 candidates, out of whom 12 are male and two are female. The number of sensitive booths in Darjeeling is 408.

At Balurghat, the main contestants against the BJP’s sitting Lok Sabha MP and state party President Sukanta Majumdar are state minister Biplab Mitra of the Trinamool Congress and the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP)’s Joydeb Siddhanta.
