Pabitra Kar, a former BJP panchayat chief and close aide of Suvendu Adhikari, rejoined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections. Kar, who left TMC in 2020 to join BJP and helped strengthen its local presence, was fielded by TMC against Adhikari in the Nandigram constituency. The TMC cited Kar's dissatisfaction with BJP's policies. This development has sparked political speculation ahead of the party's candidate announcement.
