Chief minister Mamata Banerjee with Ghani Khan Chowdhury’s niece and Trinamul’s Malda North candidate Mausam Benazir Noor. Ghani Khan’s brother and Malda South MP Abu Hasem Khan Chowdhury. The eight-time MP died in 2006, but as over 32 lakh people prepare to elect their representatives from two constituencies, Malda North and Malda South, he still finds mention in the political discourse. Questions can surely be raised on whether the process was right or whether people from Malda got undue advantage in the job market because of Ghani Khan. But that someone like the paan shop owner Ghosh misses Ghani Khan shows that people expect leaders to create jobs.
