TMC Finalizes Bengal Polls Candidate List: Age, Performance, Youth Drive Strategy

• TMC's Bengal polls candidate list is almost ready, awaiting Election Commission date announcement.
• Performance, "winnability," and a push for younger, fresh faces are key selection criteria.
• Debate on age limit (70/75 years) ongoing; senior performing leaders may be retained, inactive ones dropped.
• Celebrity candidates like Swapna Barman expected; political heirs face strict entry rules.
• Partha Chatterjee unlikely to get a ticket; Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee to finalize the list.
