2

Reasons for the selection of the candidate. The reasons as to selection shall be with reference to the qualifications, achievements and merit of the candidate concerned, and not mere "winnability" at the polls. 

Shri Arup Chatterjee is a leader of people's movements, who enjoys the trust and affection of the people and being pursuant of the causes of daily wage earners, workers, women and for general public for their rights of employment, education, etc. therefore he being victimised by the local administration.

3

Reasons as to why other individuals without criminal antecedents could not be selected as candidates.

The cases against Arup Chatterjee are because of his antecedents as leader of people’s movements, and not criminal antecedents. We can see many leaders who are loved and trusted by the people have been implicated under false cases. We have chosen one of the best candidates who fights for the rights of people, and for an equitable and just society.
