Minakshi Mukherjee, a candidate from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) for the Uttarpara assembly constituency in Hooghly district, West Bengal, has disclosed 19 criminal cases against her in her affidavit submitted to the Election Commission. These cases, which span from 2019 to 2026, include serious allegations such as 'attempt to murder' and rioting. Mukherjee, who is a prominent youth leader in the party, claims that no charges have been framed in these cases. In her previous candidacy for the 2021 assembly election in Nandigram, she had reported two criminal cases, which she attributed to political vendetta. Financially, Mukherjee has reported no taxable income and holds movable assets valued at ₹5.78 lakh (approximately $7,000 USD), a significant drop from ₹1.32 lakh (about $1,600 USD) in 2021. She has no immovable assets and earns a monthly wage of ₹5,000 (around $60 USD) from the CPI(M). Mukherjee holds a Master's degree and a Bachelor of Education from Burdwan University.
