Highlights
- The Bhawanipur by-poll election results are out for West Bengal
- The bypoll elections were held on 30th September
- Mamata Bannerjee has won by a record margin of almost 60,000 votes.
The West Bengal elections were conducted with a huge amount of trepidation from both TMC and BJP. The strange outcomes of the elections had shocked everyone. Mamata Bannerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, lost to Suvendu Adhikari in the most disputed area of Nandigram. There had been several controversies where Mamata Bannerjee had asked for a recounting. After these events, the High Court of Kolkata had declared Suvendu as the winner of the Nandigram seat. This led to the Bhawanipur bypoll to get Mamata Bannerjee a seat within the state. She has secured the seat in the Bhawanipur bypoll by a record margin of votes.
The election which was held on 30th September was extremely crucial. It was essential that Bannerjee enter the assembly within 6 months of accepting her post as the Chief minister. If she had failed in this election as well, the results would have been devastating for Trinamool Congress.
Victory Of Bannerjee At Bhawanipur Bypoll
After the victory of Mamata Bannerjee with a margin of almost 60,000 votes, the Election Commission has stated that there should be no kind of victory march or rally. This notice has been issued in light of the ongoing pandemic. Victory celebrations and processions have been banned to avoid any kind of post-poll violence as well. The acting Chief Justice of Calcutta had been urged by the police officials to take the necessary steps before the results of the Bhawanipur bypoll were declared to avoid any kind of violence that might happen against the ruling party.
