The Trinamool Congress (TMC) chairperson is set to participate in a meeting with non-Bengali voters on September 16 at Uttam Udyan in the Padmapukur area of Bhabanipur. A by-poll in the constituency will be held on September 30.
Bhabanipur, in south Kolkata, is one of the city’s oldest localities with a substantial non-Bengali population. It has a cosmopolitan population with Marwari, Punjabi, and Gujarati communities making up a substantial chunk of the demography. The BJP’s candidate is lawyer Priyanka Tibrewal, who is from the Marwari community.
“Instead of a huge margin in the recently concluded Assembly election, we trailed in two wards in Bhabanipur constituency. If the chief minister also trails in those wards, it will create a new controversy. So, we are not taking any chance. We want our supremo to win with a record margin,” said a senior TMC leader.
