WB Bypolls | 'Bhabanipur Wants Its Own': BJP Candidate Pitted Against CM Mamata

BJP's Priyanka Tibrewal will contest from Bhabanipur against CM Mamata Banerjee.

"Bhabanipur nijer meyekei chaay (Bhabanipur wants its own daughter)," said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Priyanka Tibrewal, on Friday, 10 September. Tibrewal is slated to contest from Bhabanipur against Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee in the West Bengal Assembly bypolls.

According to ANI, she added:

"I was born in Bhabanipur, Mamata (Banerjee) was not born in Bhabanipur."

She also reportedly hit out at the TMC over the bypolls, saying:

"The candidate opposite me (Mamata Banerjee) has lost an election, that's why a by-election is being held in Bhabanipur. They (TMC) had already won Bhabanipur but they don't care for democracy or for what people say."
