Mamata bags Bengal but loses Nandigram. She can still be chief minister

Mamata Banerjee led the TMC to a spectacular victory in the West Bengal Assembly Election. However, the Chief Minister lost in her constituency of Nandigram against her former aide & BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari. The seat witnessed a tough battle and saw both candidates leading alternately throughout the day. However, at the end, the local strongman prevailed over Mamata with just 1,956 votes. This does not stop Mamata from taking oath as the Chief Minister for her third consecutive term. Mamata has to get elected to the house within 6 months to be able to continue as CM. Watch the latest edition of Take 5 where Hindustan Times’ Aditi Prasad explains why Mamata can still be Chief Minister despite losing polls.

It's not a cakewalk for Mamatha Benarjee in the coming days. BJP raises their tally from 3 to 75. Powerful BJP opposition, will demand for implementing CAA in West Bengal..

Bengal, tamilnadu, Kerala voted against Hindi, ...
They reject Hindi, Hindu idea of bjp.
India is unity in diversity 💙we don't want Hindi supremacy any more

[praveenraj]

To remind Mamtha ji, that she might have won the battle by wining Bengal but the war is to win Delhi, to unite all regional parties, into a Federation of 3rd front to select a PM candidate, and form the next central govt Jai Hind

[mbknayak]

1 PM, 1 HM, 3 CM and bunch of union ministers campaigned against lioness Mamta. All gone vain.

[alteredcarbon]

The Bhawanipur MLA would give up the seat and in re elections she could win.

Congrats didi for lost as mla on suvendhu. I am sure in 6 months you must loss again as a mla

*Many people are saying it is a downfall of bjp but* ( no offense )
How it is downfall ???
1: In Kerala and tamilnadu already bjp doesn't have much power there ( regional/homegrown ) parties are powerful their especially tamil Nadu ....
2: Bjp got highest seat in Assam
3: In West Bengal 3 seats ( 2016 ) to 76 seats is a huge growth ( 2021 )..
4: a party can't always win every elections ( previous election like in bihar, madhaya Pradesh and many more bjp continuosly won )...

TMC got near about 50% votes share in this election if logically speaking the average turnout was 70% so calculating that one can understand if there is near about 25% minority population in bengal and all voted for TMC then one muct know that more Hindu have vote for TMC. Actually outsiders didn't know the common mind of Bengal BJP know only one thing that is the politics of hate this cost a lot of bad image for the BJP the people of bengal are not like that of Bihar & UP they are more aware if BJP asked for votes on development rather than Hindu Muslim than i think they could have got more votes 🙏 Wah Modi Ji Wah🙏

[drsomitsarkar]

Mamata Banerjee Zindabad....
Welcome 🙏...3rd cannot Do it....
Maar Gur Diyye Luchhi....
JOY BANGLA...🙏

[yesminister]

Ofcourse she can be. Woh alag baat hai if modi had lost and bjp had won, everybody wud be up in arms against Modi saying he has been rejected although the party won.

[oldmonkwins]

She lost Nandigram but she can be a fighter pilot of F69, nuclear scientist, astraunat, truck driver, surgeon, magician, Carpenter, mason and anything under the sun coz a jihadi is always a jihadi

[madansarkar]

TMC has got 100% Muslim vote so Firhad Hakim should be the CM of Bengal.

[bhavaghedouble]

Jeet k haarne wali ko mamta kehte hai😂
