Naxalbari, 16th April: With only few days left for campaigning, Congress candidate Amitava Sarkar from the Matigara-Naxalbari Assembly constituency has stepped up his election outreach.
On Thursday, he conducted campaign activities in Rathkhola and Tukria More areas of Naxalbari. During the campaign, he was also seen greeting a TMC panchayat member.
