TMC sweeps bypolls, winning all six seats; snatches Madarihat from BJP

The Madarihat win in particular deals a major blow to the saffron camp in north Bengal ahead of the Assembly polls in the state scheduled to be held in 2026.

On Saturday, with the announcements of phenomenal victories one after another for the TMC at the counting centres for the six constituencies, jubilant ruling party workers started celebrations. Chief minister and Trinamul chairperson Mamata Banerjee in a social media post expressed her gratitude to the people of the state for their continued support to the party, saying: "I would like to thank and congratulate 'Maa, Mati, and Manush' from the bottom of my heart. Your blessing will help us work for the people in the coming days."
