A faction of the ruling Trinamool Congress today put up road blockade on a highway in Howrah district, demanding that the party MLA of the area should not be renominated in the coming Assembly election.
Led by former pradhan of Banharishpur gram panchayat and local TMC leader Sheikh Asadul, the faction members blockaded the Ranihati Amta state highway.
Asadul said Panchla MLA Gulsan Mullick should not get party ticket to contest again in the coming Assembly election as he has failed to bring any development in the constitution.
Reacting to this, Mullick said Asadul has been expelled from the party and he blockaded the road bringing some supporters of opposition parities.
Asadul, however, said he was not expelled from TMC.
When contacted, TMC Howrah district president Arup Roy said he is busy in a meeting and cannot talk.
