Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday won the Bhabanipur by-polls by a record margin of over 58,000 votes. After claiming victory from her home turf, Banerjee said, “It is a victory against the conspiracy that was hatched to defeat me from Nandigram. I thank the people of Bhabanipur for giving me such a huge mandate.” Meanwhile, Bhabanipur BJP candidate Priyanka Tibrewal, called herself the ‘Man of the Match of the game’. “I am ‘Man of the Match’ of this game because I contested the election in Mamata Banerjee’s stronghold and got more than 25,000 votes. I will continue doing the hard work,” Tibrewal said.
She also claimed that if people were allowed to vote then the result would have been different. “Even I got hold of fake voters on the polling day. In several booths, polls were rigged. But I will admit that our organisation was weak in Bhabanipur. We have to improve this,” she added.

Mamata Banerjee on Sunday won the bypoll to Bhabanipur seat by a margin of 58,832 votes. After registering a humongous victory at her home turf, Banerjee said, “It is a victory against the conspiracy which was hatched to defeat me from Nandigram. I thank the people of Bhabanipur for giving me such a huge mandate.”
“Around 46% of people here (in Bhabanipur) are non-Bengalis. They all have voted for me. People of West Bengal are watching Bhabanipur, which has inspired me,” she added. “Since the elections started in Bengal, Central Govt hatched conspiracies to remove us from power. I was hurt in my feet so that I don’t contest the polls. I am grateful to the public for voting for us & to ECI for conducting polls within 6 months,” she further said.
