West Bengal by-elections: TMC takes lead in all three seats
Kolkata/IBNS: Surprising the BJP, the TMC took lead in Karimpur, Kharagpur and Kaliaganj as the results in all the three seats are coming out on Thursday, local media reports said.
In Karimpur, TMC candidate Bimalendu Singha Roy is ahead by 23,526 votes.
In Kharagour, TMC candidate Pradip Sarkar is ahead by 11,252 votes.
In Kaliaganj, TMC candidate Tapan Deb Singha is ahead by over 3,204 votes.
The Karimpur and Kharagpur seats fell vacant after TMC's Mahua Moitra and BJP's Dilip Ghosh- the MLAs of the respective seats- had resigned following their election to the Lok Sabha.
The Kaliaganj seat fell vacant due to the death of then Congress MLA Pramatha Nath Roy.
