Rahul Sinha, the former president of the BJP's West Bengal unit, said "the list will in all probability be announced tomorrow. It includes doctors, teachers, lawyers, social workers etc".

The BJP leaders' comments came amid speculation that the saffron camp was delaying the announcement of candidates due to differences among its leaders. Both Sinha and Ghosh scotched such speculation.
