BELDANGA (WB), Dec 22: West Bengal MLA Humayun Kabir on Monday floated a new outfit, Janata Unnayan Party, days after he was suspended by the TMC for laying the foundation stone for a Babri-style mosque in Murshidabad district.
Addressing a public meeting in Beladanga, Kabir named eight candidates that his new party will field in the 2026 assembly elections in the state.
Kabir, the MLA of Bharatpur, said he would contest the assembly polls from two seats, Rejinagar and Beldanga in Murshidabad.
“We can only tell you later how many seats we will be finally contesting,” he told the gathering.
Kabir said his mission is to oust Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee from power in the assembly polls, which will be due in less than six months.
“Mamata Banerjee is no longer the same person I knew. She is beyond the reach of the common man,” he alleged.
The BJP alleged Kabir was working to help the TMC return to power.The TMC is yet to comment on Kabir’s new party.The TMC had suspended Kabir on December 4 after his announcement to build a Babri-style mosque triggered a massive row. (PTI)
