Mithun Chakraborty missing from BJP’s final list for Bengal polls

The West Bengal BJP today released what could be its final list of candidates for the upcoming Assembly polls. It has 13 names – but no Mithun Chakraborty. From Rashbehari, the seat many believed was reserved for the ‘Dada’ of Bengali cinema, the party has fielded retired Lieutenant General Subrata Saha, who was in charge of Kashmir during crucial years. BJP sources had earlier said that the prestigious south Kolkata seat was being kept open for the actor ever since he shared the dais with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the BJP’s mega Brigade Parade Ground rally in Kolkata on March 7. 

That’s also where the actor delivered his popular line from the Bengali film MLA Fatakeshto: “I will hit you here and your body will land at the crematorium.” He also delivered a new election line that day: “I am not a harmless water snake or a harmless desert snake. I am a pure cobra. With one strike, I will turn you into a photograph.” All this to a rousing reception.
