Bhabanipur has remained a key battleground in Bengal politics, symbolising the larger contest between the Trinamool Congress and the BJP.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has alleged irregularities at counting centres, claiming that votes are being “looted,” even as counting continues across West Bengal. The allegations come amid a closely watched contest in several constituencies.
In Bhabanipur, Banerjee continues to lead after 12 rounds, but the margin has narrowed significantly. She has secured 44,729 votes and is ahead by 7,184 votes, with BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari closing the gap.
