"Mandate made it clear what fate awaits anarchic ruler": Amit Shah lauds Bhabanipur voters after Mamata Banerjee's defeat

Amit Shah praises Bhabanipur voters after Suvendu Adhikari defeats Mamata Banerjee by 15,105 votes, calling it a clear message against an anarchic ruler.

"Hats off to the people of Bhabanipur. Their mandate has made it clear what fate awaits an anarchic ruler. - Amit Shah"

New Delhi, May 4

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday praised the people of Bhabanipur assembly constituency, stating that their electoral mandate sends a strong message against what he termed an "anarchic ruler".

In a post on X, Shah said, "Hats off to the people of Bhabanipur. Their mandate has made it clear what fate awaits an anarchic ruler."

His remarks come after BJP candidate Suvendu Adhikari established a dominant position in two of West Bengal's most-watched constituencies, Bhabanipur and Nandigram, winning them both.

Figures from the Election Commission of India (ECI) following the 20th and final round of counting in Bhabanipur show Adhikari winning against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by a substantial margin of 15,105 votes.

Simultaneously, he also won the Nandigram assembly seat. According to the data displayed on the ECI official website. Suvendu Adhikari secured 1,27,301 votes at the conclusion of the 19th and final round.

Adhikari significantly widened his lead in the Bhabanipur Assembly constituency on Monday night, surging ahead of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Earlier, West Bengal recorded the highest-ever voter turnout since independence, with an impressive 91.66% polling in Phase-II of the Assembly elections. In the phase-I poll, participation was 93.19%, taking the combined poll percentage to 92.47%.

In the 2021 West Bengal Assembly election, the Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee secured a decisive mandate, winning 213 out of 294 seats with a vote share of around 48 per cent, while the Bharatiya Janata Party emerged as the principal opposition with 77 seats and roughly 38 per cent votes, marking a sharp rise from its previous tally. The Left-Congress alliance failed to win any seats.

Hats off to the people of Bhabanipur! Finally, someone stood up against the TMC's goonda raj in Bengal. Mamata didi has been treating that state like her personal fiefdom for years. Suvendu Adhikari winning is a sign that change is coming. 👏

Look, I'm no fan of Mamata, but calling her an "anarchic ruler" is over the top. She democratically won 213 seats. The BJP needs to focus on actual governance instead of this rhetoric. But yes, Suvendu's win shows the opposition is finally waking up. Balanced view, I guess.

Interesting how the narrative changes when a BJP candidate wins. When Mamata won 213 seats, it was "democracy at work." Now two seats and it's a "mandate against anarchy." 🙄 The hypocrisy is exhausting. But kudos to Suvendu for his campaign.

Finally! Some good news from Bengal. The TMC has been running the state like a mafia. High voter turnout shows people are fed up. If BJP can win Bhabanipur (Mamata's own seat), it's a clear message. Now let's see if they can build on this. 🚩

Amit Shah ji is right. Mamata Banerjee has destroyed Bengal with her appeasement politics and violence. The people of Bhabanipur have shown the way. But I hope the BJP also focuses on development now, not just politics. Bengal deserves better roads, jobs, and
