27 TMC star campaigners for Tripura bypolls

GUWAHATI: All India Trinamool Congress on Monday released a list of its 27 star campaigners, which includes party supremo and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, for the June 23 bypolls to four Tripura assembly seats.
Party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, who is one of the star campaigners, will open the campaign on Tuesday with a roadshow at Bardowali constituency where chief minister Manik Saha will be contesting from.
The four constituencies going to the by-polls are Jubrajnagar, Agartala, Bordowali and Surma and TMC has fielded candidates in all the constituencies.
These seats fell vacant following death of the CPM MLA from Jubarajnagar RC Nath, resignation of two BJP MLAs, Sudip Roy Barman (Agartala) and Ashis Kumar Saha (Bardowali), who have joined Congress and resignation of another BJP MLA Ashis Das (Surma) who has joined Trinamool Congress.
