BJP released a list for the West Bengal assembly elections on Tuesday, and in a surprising move it seems that actor turned politician Mithun Chakraborty's name is missing.

Reports had earlier said that Mithun would contest from Rashbehari, but the BJP has fielded retired Lieutenant General Subrata Saha.

Mithun in preparation has also enlisted as a voter in Kolkata, transferring his voting card from Mumbai.

The actor is scheduled to campaign in Nandigram on March 30 for Suvendu Adhikari.
