The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has released a list of 13 more candidates for the coming Assembly elections for the 5th to 8th phase. The list was finalised by the BJP top leadership in New Delhi. It includes the Chowringhee seat in Kolkata from where wife of senior Congress leader Somen Mitra refused to contest, alleging that she had never given her approval to the BJP to nominate her as candidate.
