Hazra, the MP from Bolpur in Birbhum, was suspended by Trinamool Congress in January. "Time and again Anupam Hazra has done activities that don't match with the ideologies of the party. We have suspended him," Trinamool Secretary-General Partha Chatterjee had said that at time.

Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress president Mamata Banerjee is likely to announce the candidates' list of her party for the Lok Sabha polls today. "We will release our candidates' list tomorrow," Banerjee told reporters at state secretariat 'Nabanna' on Monday.
