Electorate dish out mixed verdict to relatives

Kolkata, May 11 (UNI) Someone stepped into father's shoes, someone into husband's. All tried to don the mantle, but everyone was not so lucky.

In Dinhata Assembly constituency of Coochbehar district, former state Agriculture Minister Kamal Guha's son Udayan Guha faced an ignominious defeat from his father's bastion, but Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunshi's wife Deepa Dasmunshi was a giant killer romping home from Goalpokhar Assembly constituency of North Dinajpore district defeating state Minister Hafiz Alam Sairani.

In Suzapur Assembly constituency of Maldaha district, former Railway Minister and heavyweight Congress leader A B A Ghani Khan Chaudhury's sister Rubi Noor had no difficulty at all to get through, but in Kabitirtha Assembly constituency of Kolkata, former state Food Supply Minister Kalimuddin Shams's son Moinuddin Shams had to lick dust.

In Rash Behari Assembly constituency of Kolkata, Congress leader Nirbed Roy's wife Mala Roy ate humble pie, while in Pursurah Assembly constituency of Hooghly district, veteran CPI(M) leader and former party Legislator Bishnupada Bera's son Anjan Bera convincingly sailed through.
