Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will contest the upcoming elections in the state from Nandigram.

West Bengal's Legislative Assembly elections for 294 seats are expected to be held in 2021.

She is currently the MLA from Bhawanipore. "I will contest from Nandigram. Nandigram is my lucky place. Nandigram is my big sister, Bhawanipore is my younger sister...

BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari will be contesting from Nandigram against Banerjee.
