The high-voltage contest in Bhabanipur resulted in Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's defeat as Suvendhu Adhikari repeated history again. He had defeated Mamata in Nandigram in 2021 too but Mamata had saved her face last time by winning in Bhabanipur.
Adhikari won by a margin of around 15,000 votes after all 20 rounds of counting were completed.
This comes as BJP is set win around 200 seats in the 293-member assembly. After expecting a BJP victory, Mamata slammed the poll panel outside the counting centre.
"Do you think this is a victory? It is an immoral victory. More than 100 seats have been looted. The Election Commission is the BJP's commission," said Mamata, alleging irregularities. "It is loot, loot, loot. We will bounce back."
She said she had complained to officials, including the Chief Electoral Officer, but "they are not doing anything". She also claimed that she was "pushed and berated" inside the counting centre.
