Kolkata: In a major political upset, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has emerged victorious from the high-profile Bhabanipur Assembly constituency, defeating West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by a margin of 15,114 votes after the completion of all 20 rounds of counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the final results, Adhikari secured 73,463 votes, while Banerjee polled 58,349 votes. The result marks a significant turnaround in Bhabanipur, a constituency long considered a stronghold of the Trinamool Congress and personally associated with Mamata Banerjee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bhabanipur contest had drawn intense national attention, with both leaders campaigning vigorously. The outcome is particularly notable given that Banerjee had won the seat comfortably in a by-election in 2021 with a margin of nearly 59,000 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adhikari\u2019s victory further cements his position as a key figure in West Bengal politics. He had earlier also won from his home turf, Nandigram, where he had defeated Banerjee in the 2021 Assembly elections by a narrow margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results in Bhabanipur come amid a broader surge for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) across the state, where the party has either won or is leading in a significant number of constituencies. The outcome is being seen as a major shift in the political landscape of West Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Political observers note that the scale of Adhikari\u2019s victory in Bhabanipur reflects changing voter preferences and growing support for the BJP in urban constituencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this win, Suvendu Adhikari has delivered a major blow to the Trinamool Congress leadership, while boosting the BJP\u2019s morale and strengthening its position in the state\u2019s evolving political dynamics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
