MALDA, 17 MAY : Speculation runs deep in Malda as to whether MP Miss Mausam Noor from North Malda or Mr AH Khan Choudhury from South Malda will receive the ministerial berth. Two more MPs are also in the race - Mrs Deepa Das Munshi from Raiganj in North Dinajpur and Mr Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury from Berhampur in Murshidabad.
In considering his relatives for the post, the Malda Congress is naturally recalling the late ABA Ghani Khan Choudhury, who had been Union minister from 1980.
Before general elections, the All India Congress Committee observer Mr Intekhab Alam told media persons in a Press conference that Mr AH Khan Choudhury expected to win and become minister here.
Another group of Congress leaders are discussing Miss Mausam Noor's prospects for induction into the cabinet, pointing out that she is a young MP belonging to the minority community.
However, to avoid any family controversy between Miss Noor and her uncle Mr AH Khan Choudhury over the decision, district Congress leaders are not discussing the issue officially.
