All eyes are on West Bengal’s Bhabanipur assembly constituency, where elections are held Thursday, as Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate Mamata Banerjee will have to win the electoral battle to remain the West Bengal Chief Minister. To challenge Banerjee, the BJP has fielded lawyer Priyanka Tibrewal, the Left has nominated young advocate Srijib Biswas while the Congress decided not to contest in a gesture to the ruling party in a changed political scenario.
TMC leader Firhad Hakim said there are a lot of non-existent voters in Bhabanipur. “If we exclude them, the polling percentage crossed 60,” said he.
“The margin of (Mamata Banerjee’s) victory will be very healthy though I can’t exactly tell it at the moment. The margin will be much bigger than the one registered during the assembly elections (in April this year),” he added.
