In a surreal end to a vitriolic campaign and a contest that was balanced on the knife-edge till the very last EVM was counted BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari defeated West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by 1,956 votes in Nandigram.
Mamata Banerjee is trailing again from Nandigram. Earlier, she was declared winner from Nandigram but later it was announced that she had lost to Adhikari. So far, the EC has not announced the results yet. Earlier in the day, when the counting started, BJP’s Adhikari was leading in the seat by more than 8000 votes. But Banerjee closed the gap as the counting progressed. For some time, she was ahead of Suvendu but now trailing in what is considered the stomping ground of Adhikari. Nandigram was the biggest battleground where sitting chief minister Mamata Banerjee challenged her former cabinet colleague and now BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari.
