The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has announced its candidates list for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, revealing the names of 42 candidates. Among the notable figures nominated are former cricketer Yusuf Pathan and prominent party leader Mahua Moitra. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee announced the list. The party will not support the Congress-led INDIA Bloc in the state's general elections.

Mahua Moitra, who was expelled from the Lok Sabha, has been fielded from Krishnanagar. Former cricketer Yusuf Pathan has been fielded from Baharampur. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of India will hear a petition filed by Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mahua Moitra, challenging her expulsion from the Lok Sabha on Monday, March 11th.
Trinamool's sitting MP actor Nusrat Jahan, from Basirhat, the constituency of Sandeshkhali, has been dropped from the list of 46 candidates. Pathan was fielded against Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, which Congress will likely field from Baharampur. This was one of the seats with which the Congress-TMC seat-sharing talks hit a roadblock as Mamata did not want to leave the seat to the Congress.
