It’s all in the family

BY A STAFF REPORTER: What is common in Badarghat? No prizes for guessing. Win or lose, the Sarkar family will control politics of the area. Five time former Congress turned Trinamool Congress turned BJP leader, Dilip Sarkar expired in 2019 paving the way for a charismatic and dynamic BJP leader Mimi Majumdar to fight and win elections. But Dilip’s widow, Minarani Sarkar has managed to turned the equation elbowing out Mimi as the BJP candidate. But look at the predicament. She is up against her own nephew, Partha Ranjan Sarkar, a former Congress worker who recently switched over to Forward Bloc. Dilip Sarkar’s elder brother Rajkumar Sarkar is an active Congressman. The Sarkars of Badharghat are known to be politically active in the region. Incidentally Minarani Sarkar is a councillor of Agartala Municipal Corporation.
