Bengal election 2021: Mamata Banerjee will contest from Nandigram and Bhowanipur two seats this time

Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will contest from two seats Nandigram and Bhowanipur this time. Mamta won the Bhowanipur seat in the 2016 assembly elections, but this time she has also announced to contest from Nandigram. Siamese matters are being extracted from Mamta’s two places to contest elections.

Mamta’s association with Nandigram is quite old. Mamta’s Nandigram movement of 2007 gave her a new identity and due to this movement, she was able to oust the leftist government from power. Elections are to be held for 294 assembly seats in Bengal in April-May. This time the main contest in the state is being considered between TMC and BJP. Mamta Banerjee said on Monday that she will contest from the Nandigram assembly seat. She said, ‘If possible, I will contest from both Bhowanipur and Nandigram seats.’

Suvendu officer challenged

It is believed that Mamta has challenged Suvendu Adhikari, who left TMC and joined BJP after announcing to contest from Nandigram. Nandigram is the officer’s stronghold and the officer is believed to have a major role in boosting the 2007 movement. Addressing a gathering in Nandigram, Mamta said, ‘I will contest from Nandigram. Nandigram has been lucky for me. The Chief Minister said that she will also contest from Bhowanipur in Kolkata.

Mamta gains strength from the Nandigram movement

Mamta Banerjee’s movement for the farmers in Nandigram played an important role in getting her the power of West Bengal.

In the 2007 movement, 14 people lost their lives in a clash between police and protesters. After this, Mamta gave the slogan ‘Ma, Mati, Manush’ and carried forward a huge movement against the Left government
