[Swatantra Party West Bengal Constituency]

Calcutta

2 pages

Summary

This two-page English office list records prospective Swatantra Party supporters and organisational contacts in West Bengal. It provides names, addresses, occupations or affiliations, and brief remarks about political interests, willingness to join, requests for information, and possible organisational roles. Most entries are based in Calcutta, with additional contacts in Midnapore, Purulia, and Diamond Harbour.

The remarks indicate an early effort to build the party’s regional organisation through students, professionals, businesspeople, former Congress members, trade unionists, and local political workers. Several contacts offer to assist with party work, distribute leaflets, recruit members, or organise the party in Bengal; one entry reports 10,000 people as members of a local “Samaj,” while another recommends seeking directions from the party’s head office. The document has no printed title, author, date, or publisher and appears to be an internal constituency or contact report rather than a signed publication.
