Uncertainty continues to cloud the candidature of Asian Games gold-medallist and Trinamool Congress nominee Swapna Barman from the Rajganj Assembly constituency in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district, following fresh complications linked to a pending disciplinary case against her. The court had earlier directed her to admit her misconduct and submit a letter to the Railways to that effect. However, it was learnt on Thursday that instead of doing so, Swapna submitted a letter of resignation, thereby creating a new layer of complications. It has come to light that Swapna joined the Trinamool Congress on February 27 without first resigning from her position as a Railways official.
