However, the twist in the tale is that Hiraan will not be contesting from his current seat, Kharagpur Sadar. Instead, the party has fielded him from the <strong>Shyampur<\/strong> constituency in Howrah district. While his candidacy was confirmed, Hiraan\u2019s cold reaction has sparked fresh rumors within the political circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately after the announcement, Hiraan made a blunt statement: &#8220;Many people have sent me congratulatory messages, but I am not accepting any wishes at this moment.&#8221; This defiant stand suggests a deep-seated frustration, possibly due to being moved away from his home turf, Kharagpur. For months, there had been speculation that Hiraan might be sidelined due to internal party dynamics, especially with senior leaders eyeing his seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shyampur is considered a tough nut to crack for the BJP, as it has traditionally been a Trinamool Congress stronghold. By shifting Hiraan to this high-pressure zone, the BJP leadership might be testing his mettle, but the actor\u2019s refusal to celebrate hints at a rift. Whether this &#8220;unhappy warrior&#8221; can convert his resentment into a winning campaign in Shyampur remains to be seen. For now, the &#8220;No Congratulations&#8221; tag has become the talk of the town in Bengal politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The suspense surrounding BJP MLA and actor Hiraan Chatterjee finally ended on Thursday as his name appeared in the party&#8217;s second list for the 2026 Assembly elections.
