Sabina Yasmin, a Left Front candidate, is contesting the election from Kaliganj in Nadia district, driven by a deeply personal tragedy. Her nine-year-old daughter, Tamanna Khatun, died in July 2025 when crude bombs were allegedly thrown during celebrations linked to bypoll results in the area.
Since then, Yasmin has positioned her political journey around the demand for accountability and justice for her daughter’s death. Her candidature has brought her into a broader political conversation where grief and electoral politics intersect.
Yasmin has publicly stated that her primary objective is to ensure justice for her daughter and to prevent similar incidents from happening to other families in the state. She has also drawn parallels between her struggle and that of Ratna Debnath, the BJP candidate from Panihati and mother of an RG Kar Medical College victim.
Sabina Yasmin is a CPI- (M) candidate contesting from Kaliganj Assembly constituency in Nadia district. Her campaign focuses on justice for her daughter and raising concerns about political violence and public safety in West Bengal.
She is contesting against Alifa Ahmed (Trinamool Congress) and Bapan Ghosh (Bharatiya Janata Party), among others.
