Suvendu Adhikari, after securing a significant victory in Bhabanipur, declared that the defeat of Mamata Banerjee would mark the end of her political career. He termed the win “very important” and said defeating Banerjee was crucial. Adhikari claimed she lost by over 15,000 votes. He further alleged that Muslim voters supported Banerjee openly in certain wards, while voters from Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist communities backed him, leading to his victory. Framing the outcome as a decisive political shift, Adhikari asserted that the result signals Banerjee’s “retirement from politics,” highlighting the broader implications of the Bhabanipur contest in West Bengal’s evolving political landscape.
