“During election campaign, the state Congress leaders, including Pranab Mukherjee had promised that Asit Mal would be a minister in the new government,” said a local Congress worker.

“Asit Mal has won from this seat even at the peak of the Left regime. He is popular in this area since he is a dedicated and honest MLA,” Gurusmaran Banerjee, block president of the Youth Congress, said.
