They are recognised features of a healthy parliamentary democracy.”“In our constitutional framework, voters elect both the candidate and the political party.
An electoral mandate is not the exclusive property of a party leadership; it is conferred by the people upon their chosen representatives.
These concerns cannot be dismissed through personal attacks by Krishnanagar MP Mahua Moitra on those who choose to speak out,” she added.You Can Also Check: Gold Rate in Kolkata | Silver Rate in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata | Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Petrol Price in Kolkata | Diesel Price in Kolkata | CNG Price in Kolkata | LPG Price in KolkataStay updated with the latest Kolkata news.
