Kolkata: Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee emerged victorious from the prestigious Bhawanipur Assembly constituency for the third time, steamrolling her nearest BJP rival Priyanka Tibrewal by a whopping margin of 58,832 votes, and thereby securing her Chief Ministerial post.

It's a hattrick from Bhawanipur for Ms Banerjee, who lost to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari in 2021 Assembly election from Nandigram. This time she surpassed her earlier winning margins from this prestigious constituency.

CPI(M) 's Srijib Biswas came third. She took her oath as the Chief Minister for the third time on May 5, 2021, and as a mandatory procedure, she had to win any Assembly seat within six months i.e. November 5.
