Former West Bengal Chief Secretary and Trinamool Congress candidate Manish Gupta will take on his one time former boss and Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on his home turf in the Jadavpur Assembly constituency.
69-year-old Gupta, who recently joined the Trinamool Congress told PTI, "I served the people when I was an administrator. Now it is an opportunity given by Mamata Banerjee to serve the people better."
The high-profile bureaucrat, who served as district magistrate in the late 60s in Birbhum and rose to the post of chief secretary before retiring in 2001 under Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, alleged that the Left Front had "degraded" the bureaucracy.
The bureaucracy, he said, was allowed to function freely during Jyoti Basu's chief ministership. "But it lost its importance in subsequent years."
Bhattacharjee is seeking re-election from Jadavpur to retain the seat for sixth time in a row since 1987.
