Flash: Mamata Loses Nandigram, EC Declares Published by GulteDesk May 02, 2021
Even as Mamata Banerjee’s All India Trinamool Congress scored a massive victory, West Bengal CM and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee has lost in Nandigram Assembly constituency. She was defeated by her former aide and BJP candidate Suvendu Adhikari by 1736 votes. Mamata has conceded her defeat in Nandigram whereas the party won with a thumping majority.
