KOLKATA: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) swept to a resounding victory in all six Assembly bypolls in Bengal, not only retaining its dominance but also increasing its winning margins.
The Opposition's attempts to rally support around contentious issues, such as the RG Kar rape-and-murder case, fell flat, leaving little impact on the electorate.
The triumph in Madarihat, a historic win where the TMC wrested the seat from the BJP's grasp, has sent ripples through political circles. The thumping victory in Sitai has added to the celebrations in the North Bengal region.
Analysts are now speculating whether this signals the beginning of the end of the saffron camp's stronghold in North Bengal.
One of the main issues for the BJP's defeat can be attributed to the party grappling with internal conflicts in the Region, felt political observers.
Meanwhile, after the results were announced, on Saturday, taking to social media, TMC chairperson Mamata Banerjee thanked the people of Bengal and reiterated that the results of the by-elections would inspire her party to work for the people.
Trinamool’s national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee also took to social media to congratulate his party colleagues for the landslide victory.
With this victory, TMC’s tally in the 294-member state Assembly has risen to 216, while BJP’s seat dropped to 69 from 77 in 2021.
