After the resignation of former bureaucrat Jawhar Sircar as the RS MP during the second week of September in protest against the RG Kar Hospital rape-murder incident, the bypoll was necessitated. Mr Sircar, a retired IAS officer, also had resigned from the party.
"We are pleased to announce the candidature of Ritabrata Banerjee for the forthcoming Rajya Sabha by-election," the party said today in a post on X.
