Instead, the Congress has nominated his son Isha Khan Choudhury.
His immediate competitors in that constituency include Trinamool Congress Shahnawaz Ali Raihan and BJPs Sreerupa Mitra Chaudhury.
From Kolkata Uttar seat, the Congress has fielded former party Rajya Sabha member Pradip Bhattacharya.
While Trinamool Congress has re-nominated the sitting Lok Sabha member from Kolkata Uttar, Sudip Bandyopadhyay, the BJP is yet to name its candidate from the constituency.
