The newly-formed Janata Unnayan Party (JUP), floated by controversial MLA Humayun Kabir, opened its office in East Burdwan this afternoon, with the party’s district secretary announcing a political battle against the three-time MLA from the Purbasthali (Uttar) Assembly constituency.
Baban Ghosh, the district secretary of the JUP, inaugurated the party’s first office in Purbasthali and said: “It is my prime duty to uproot the sitting MLA, Tapan Chatterjee. He has built a dynasty here, where thieves and musclemen are looting the masses indiscriminately.”

Although the Election Commission of India is yet to announce the Assembly elections, Ghosh claimed: “I am the JUP candidate for Purbasthali (Uttar), where I will fight against Chatterjee.”

Chatterjee, the three-term local MLA, however, did not attach much importance to Ghosh’s statements. He said: “Only utopians like him can have such daydreams. The people of Purbasthali do not stand by him ~ that much I know.”
