Assembly Election Results 2021: Mamata Banerjee is set to retain power with a spectacular 200-plus seats.
New Delhi:
Mamata Banerjee s Trinamool Congress today won a landslide victory in Bengal. The Chief Minister, however, lost to BJP s Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram. I accept the verdict in Nandigram - it is not a big deal. Don t worry, she said.
Khela hobe did happen, and we did win. The BJP kept going on and on about double-engine
sarkar, while I assured you all that I will score a double century. This is Bangla s win. this is Bengal s win. this is your win. This win has saved Bengal, it has saved the culture and tradition of Bengal, said Ms Banerjee who ran a bitter, no holds barred campaign against the BJP over two months as Covid cases surged in India.

WEST BENGAL: Between the binary of a
ladaku neta (the war-like Mamata Banerjee) and the PM’s fort-destroyer act, complete with taunts and slogans, there’s another figure who’s also in the contest quite strangely, in his absence. He is Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.
The 77-year-old former West Bengal CM’s failing health especially respiratory trouble in this Covid season has kept him away from the public stage. All that has come from him by way of intervention in this election season is a statement. He shot a single arrow, talking of “the unravelling of the Singur-Nandigram conspiracy”, and the irony of “the conspirators now fighting each other” in the silence of the graveyard.
