Mamata Banerjee's TMC set to clean sweep West Bengal bypolls

| @indiablooms | Nov 23, 2024, at 04:51 pm

Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) is set to sweep the six assembly byelections 6-0, warding off the criticisms it had faced over the RG Kar rape-murder case.

The byelections were held in Naihati, Haroa, Medinipur, Taldangra, Sitai and Madarihat on November 13.

All seats except Madarihat were in the TMC's kitty.

Madarihat had remained the stronghold of the BJP since 2016.

The elections in Naihati were marred by violence with one TMC leader being shot dead in Barrackpore Bhatpara area.

The TMC's win will pave Mamata Banerjee to reaffirm its undisputed authority weeks after facing an unprecedented protests over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
