The battle for Bhabanipur has reached fever pitch as LoP Suvendu Adhikari expressed supreme confidence in defeating Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in her own bastion. Speaking to TV9 Bangla on Monday, March 23, 2026, Suvendu pointed out that the effective voter count in Bhabanipur has dropped to 1.60 lakh after the deletion of nearly 47,000 names. “I am hopeful of a 25,000-vote victory margin. While I leave the final verdict to the people, I believe my expectations will be fulfilled,” he said. This high-stakes rematch of the 2021 Nandigram clash is being seen as the ultimate test of political supremacy in West Bengal.
