West Bengal Bypolls Latest Update: As the TMC made big win in the West Bengal Bypolls, party leader Babul Supriyo on Friday called it ‘poetic justice’ and said the credit for the victory goes to Mamata Banerjee. He went on to say that the bypoll results are a slap to BJP for their hubris and the way they demean Bengalis.
“The CPI(M) didn’t have anything for people, they stooped low during campaign. Shatrughan Sinha won by a margin of over 1 lakh votes and we’ll work together with him. The results are a slap to BJP for their hubris and the way they demean Bengalis,” Babul Supriyo said.
After winning from Ballygunge seat, Babul Supriyo said the people of the state have destroyed BJP’s ego.

“It is poetic justice that TMC won in Asansol. In Asansol, I won on my own credit. Today, people have destroyed the BJP’s ego. The credit for the victory goes to Mamata Banerjee,” he said.
As per latest updates, TMC candidate Shatrugan Sinha won from the Asansol Lok Sabha seat. According to the early trends, he was leading by a margin of over 2 lakh votes. In Asansol, Shatrugan said he was “grateful to Asansol’s people and to Mamata Banerjee for this victory.”
In the meantime, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also took to Twitter to thank the voters and said, “I sincerely thank the electors of the Asansol Parliamentary Constituency and the Ballygunge Assembly Constituency for giving decisive mandate to AITC party candidates. We consider this to be our people’s warm Shubho Nababarsho gift to our Ma- Mati- Manush organization. Salute to the voters for reposing faith in us, yet again.”
