ABP News  

Kolkata: Election Commission of India on Saturday announced that the Bypoll to the Bhabanipur assembly seat in West Bengal, from where Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee plans to contest, would be held on September 30. The announcement came as a massive relief for TMC as it will give Banerjee a chance to become a member of West Bengal's Legislative Assembly which will further allow her to continue as Chief Minister of the state. Mamata Lost Nandigram Seat During the West Bengal Assembly Polls held earlier this year, Mamata Banerjee decided to leave her traditional Bhabanipur seat and contest elections from Nandigram seat but lost to her former protege-turned-rival Suvendu Adhikari, who contested on a BJP ticket. Mamata Banerjee needs to win a seat in the state assembly by November 5 as per the constitutional provisions in order to continue as the Chief Minister.
