Kolkata, Dec 9 (NationPress) The new political entity being established by Humayun Kabir, a suspended legislator from the Trinamool Congress representing the minority-heavy Bharatpur constituency in Murshidabad district of West Bengal, is likely to be named the National Conservative Party (NCP), according to a local party leader who has remained close to Kabir.
In response to inquiries from the media, Kabir refrained from either confirming or denying the party's name.
"I will officially announce my new political party on December 22. Details will be shared then, including the names of the party's office bearers," he stated during a press interaction on Tuesday.
Kabir has previously indicated that his political organization aims to contest in over 100 Assembly seats across West Bengal, partnering with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), founded by Asaduddin Owaisi, and potentially with the Left Front if they agree to collaborate.
On Tuesday, he expressed confidence that his newly formed party would secure a substantial number of seats in the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, asserting that the future ruling party would need to align with him for governance.
"The leaders who will head the new state government will have to seek our support to form a coalition," Kabir claimed.
He also announced that the launch event of his political outfit on December 22 is expected to attract an audience of over 100,000 attendees.
Kabir's suspension from the Trinamool Congress occurred just days before the stone-laying ceremony for the Babri Mosque at Beldanga in Murshidabad, which aligns with the original construction at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, destroyed on December 6, 1992.
On Tuesday, Kabir approached the Calcutta High Court for security protection, citing threats to his life.
"Since December 6, I have received threatening calls. Although the Union government offered me security, I declined it initially. I will, however, accept whatever the court mandates," he explained.
