Bengal Election Results: Mamata Banerjee Loses Bhabanipur Stronghold To Suvendu Adhikari | Read

Mamata Banerjee had declared in March that she would win her Bhabanipur stronghold in the West Bengal Assembly elections, even if it is just by a single vote. She lost her seat to the BJP's Suvendu Adhikari by 15,114 votes.

Banerjee saw an early commanding lead evaporate as counting progressed on Monday. By the end of the seventh round, she held a lead of more than 17,000 votes. But that advantage was steadily whittled away in subsequent rounds, falling to under 4,000 by the 14th and eventually disappearing entirely.
