Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress's Falta candidate Jahangir Khan on Tuesday announced he was withdrawing from the May 21 re-election in the assembly segment, stating that Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's promise of a special package for the area's development prompted him to take the decision.

Addressing a press conference, Khan said he took the decision keeping Falta's interests in mind. "I am the son of Falta, and I want the area to be at peace and grow," he said.

"The CM has announced a special package for the development of Falta, which is why I have decided to move away from the re-polling process in the constituency," he added.
