TMC's Mahua Moitra raises questions on Swapan Dasgupta's BJP ticket from Tarakeshwar

Mahua Moitra of Trinamool Congress raised the issue of Swapan Dasgupta getting a BJP ticket in West Bengal assembly election despite being a nominated member of the upper house.

Moitra had tweeted, "Swapan Dasgupta is BJP candidate for WB polls. 10th Schedule of Constitution says nominated RS member to be disqualified if he joins any political party AFTER expiry of 6 months from oath. He was sworn in April 2016, remains unallied. Must be disqualified NOW for joining BJP."

Dasgupta's name was announced as the BJP candidate from Tarakeshwar assembly constituency on Sunday.
