A triangular encounter between Mamta, Meenakshi and Shubhendu

Just a few months ago, Mamata Banerjee's lieutenant Shubhendu Adhikari was playing in Nandigram. He claimed to have won the election and said he would defeat Mamata Banerjee by 50,000 votes. However, Mamata Banerjee dismissed Shubhendu's claim as a gossip and said she was winning the election.

CPI (M) 's Meenakshi Mukherjee is triangulating Jung by challenging Mamata and Shubhendu Adhikari in Nandigram. Meenakshi is a young leader and is contesting elections with a promise of employment and industrialization.
