In what could lead the June 2 Howrah parliamentary by-elections to a photo-finish of sorts the State BJP has nominated former State party president and a political heavyweight professor Ashim Kumar Ghosh as its candidate.
Ghosh is likely to file his nominations on Tuesday a BJP release said.
With the BJP’s coming into the fray the Howrah polls turn out to be a four-cornered affair with all the four major parties Trinamool Congress, Congress, CPI(M) and BJP deciding to try their lucks.
