Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee moves Calcutta HC challenging Nandigram polling, hearing on Friday

The Calcutta HC is set to hear a plea by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee challenging the polling in Nandigram where she lost to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee moved the Calcutta High Court on Thursday challenging the polling process in the Nandigram assembly constituency. The matter has been listed for 11 am on Friday. Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee lost to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari from the Nandigram seat in the recently-concluded West Bengal Assembly elections. According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), the margin of victory was less than 2,000 votes. Mamata Banerjee had vacated her seat of Bhabanipore to contest the polls from Nandigram in a bid to challenge former confidante Suvendu Adhikari.
