Kolkata, December 10: The new party to be floated by now-suspended Trinamool Congress legislator Humayun Kabir will be fielding candidates against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, in the Assembly elections scheduled next year. “As I have already said, I will be fielding candidates from minority dominated constituencies in the state. However, my party will be 100 per cent secular in nature. I have also decided to field candidates both in Bhabanipur constituency in Kolkata against the Chief Minister and in Nandigram against the leader of the opposition,” Kabir told media persons on Wednesday.

Kabir will be announcing his new political party on December 22. On that day, he will also announce the names of the new political party's office-bearers. In all probability, the name of the new political outfit will be the 'National Conservative Party', which Kabir had neither denied nor confirmed when asked. Meanwhile, the donation received by “West Bengal Islamic Fund of India,” the trust that would run the Babri Mosque at Beldanga in Murshidabad district, as planned by Kabir, has already crossed Rs 3 crore.
