Bengal polls: BJP candidate Rantidev Sengupta changes decision, to contest from Howrah Dakshin
Kolkata/IBNS: Reversing decision within a few hours, journalist-turned-Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leader Rantidev Sengupta on Sunday night said that he will contest from Howrah Dakshin (South) assembly seat in the forthcoming West Bengal polls.
Earlier in the evening, Sengupta expressed his unwillingness to contest in the assembly election as he wanted to take part in the party's poll-campaigns across the state.
"Neither I had requested BJP to make me a candidate nor the party had informed me about it before announcing my name as a candidate, and I hope my party will reselect another good as well as ideal candidate for Howrah Dakshin assembly seat," Rantidev Sengupta said earlier.
Hours later at night, he announced to reverse his decision.
"I had words with my leadership and I am reversing my decision, I will contest in Howrah Dakshin assembly seat in the election," Sengupta said.
