TMC leader Biplab Mitra, who is contesting from the Balurghat Lok Sabha seat, organized a roadshow in his constituency on April 25. He expressed confidence in his party’s victory in the upcoming polls, saying that the BJP candidate, Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, is likely to face defeat. Mitra highlighted the unexpectedly strong support the TMC has garnered from the people, suggesting that the outcome of the election might be determined by a margin of one lakh votes. He also downplayed the impact of the situation in Sandeshkhali on the election dynamics in Balurghat.
The BJP has nominated Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, the party’s West Bengal president, to contest against Biplab Mitra. The election is expected to be a close one, with both candidates confident of victory. The outcome of the election will be crucial for the BJP, which is looking to make inroads in West Bengal.
