Assembly Byelections 2023 | Trinamool Congress makes resounding comeback in Dhupguri

The Hindu  

Published : Sep 09, 2023 13:24 IST - 3 MINS READ Two and a half years after losing the Dhupguri seat in North Bengal to the Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2021 Assembly election in West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress won it back in a dramatic fashion in the byelection. In what was perceived as a “prestige fight” between the ruling party and the main opposition, Trinamool’s Nirmal Chandra Roy edged past the BJP’s Tapasi Roy by 4,309 votes. For the BJP, it would have been a chance to stem its inexorable decline in the State since the 2021 Assembly election, and for the Trinamool, it was an opportunity to strike a telling blow in the saffron party’s stronghold of north Bengal, where it won six of its 18 Lok Sabha seats in the 2019 election. In the 2021 Assembly election, the BJP’s Bishnupada Roy had wrested the Dhupguri seat from Trinamool’s sitting MLA, Mitali Roy, by 4,355 votes.
