"We are pleased to announce the candidature of Babul Supriyo, Rajeev Kumar (Former DGP, West Bengal), Menaka Guruswamy and Koel Mallick for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections," the TMC said in a post on X.

Kumar recently retired after serving in posts such as the state DGP and Kolkata Police commissioner.

Guruswamy, who was one of the lawyers behind the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 2018, is also among the lawyers defending the TMC against the Enforcement Directorate in a case filed by the agency against chief minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly interfering in its operations on January 8.
