In a major trouble for West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, her rival and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has taken a lead of over 7287 votes over Mamata Banerjee from Nandigram Assembly seats after the completion of second round of voting. Though TMC is leading in early trends in West Bengal, it is a big jolt for Mamata that Suvendu Adhikari has grabbed the lead in Nandigram. 

The counting of votes for the Nandigram seat in West Bengal started at 8 AM on Sunday (May 2). The early trends showed that West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is trailing from Nandigram seat. All eyes are on Nandigram as a defeat for Mamata Banerjee from this seat will decide the future course of West Bengal politics. Nandigram went to poll in the second phase of elections on April 1. Nandigram witnessed a high-pitched battle between TMC Supremo and Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and former TMC leader and now BJP candidate Suvendu Adhikari. Apart from Mamata and Suvendu, Left front candidate Minakshi Mukherjee was also in the fray from the Vidhan Sabha seat. 

In 2016, Suvendu Adhikari had won from Nandigram after defeating Abdul Kabir Sekh of CPI. In 2011, Firoja Bibi of TMC had bagged the seat by defeating her nearest rival Paramananda Bharati of CPI.

In Singur too, the BJP is leading in early trends. It is to be noted that Singur is considered to be one of the strongholds of Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress. Singur was the second place where Mamata launched a successful movement against the Left government’s land acquisition for Tata Nano factory. 

The game of thrones in West Bengal has been the most dynamic state assembly elections in recent years. The power-packed campaigns involving stormy rallies and mega roadshows were dominated mainly by the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
