Mamata Banerjee says she’s going to contest 2021 WB polls from Nandigram

Seething after the latest exit of a number of Trinamool members led by the resignation of political heavyweight Suvendu Adhikari, CM Mamata Banerjee has determined to take her battle for West Bengal to the house turf of the previous TMC stalwart.
In what could possibly be seen as an open problem to the now BJP chief Suvendu Adhikari, Mamata Banerjee declared that she can be contesting the upcoming Assembly polls from Nandigram city in Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal. Banerjee is at current the MLA from Bhawanipore in south Kolkata.

“I have always started my campaign for the assembly polls from Nandigram. It is a lucky place for me. So this time I feel that I should contest the assembly polls from here. I request our state party president Subrata Bakshi to approve my name from this seat,” Banerjee mentioned, addressing a public assembly within the city for the primary time in 5 years.
Bakshi, who was on the rostrum, promptly accepted the request.
Mamata Banerjee urged voters of Bhawanipore, her present constituency, to bear along with her. It was necessary for her to contest Nandigram as her celebration needed to struggle on all 294 meeting seats of Bengal, she mentioned. “Bhawanipore, please don’t feel sad. I will give you a good candidate,” the 66-year-old promised.
Later in her speech, she indicated that she might contest from each constituencies and mentioned, “Nandigram is my big sister, Bhawanipore is my younger sister… I will fight from both if possible. In case I am unable to contest from Bhawanipore, someone else would contest.”
Suvendu Adhikari galvanised the folks of Nandigram 
For the uninitiated, Nandigram is the epicentre of the 2007 farmers’ motion that propelled Mamata Banerjee to energy within the state 10 years in the past. And apparently, Suvendu Adhikari, who is taken into account as one of many principal architects of the Nandigram motion, had helped Mamata Banerjee led TMC to overthrow the 34-year left rule within the state. In truth, over time Adhikari emerged as one of many Trinamool’s prime brass due to his clout in Nandigram.
The Chief Minister’s return to Nandigram is being seen as a direct problem to Suvendu Adhikari, who had led an exodus of Trinamool leaders to the BJP over the previous few weeks. Over 40 Trinamool Congress leaders joined Adhikari as he defected to the BJP in a mega rally in December within the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Responding to Mamata Banerjee’s dramatic declaration, Suvendu Adhikari, who had registered an emphatic win from Nandigram seat in West Bengal elections 2016 as a TMC candidate, turned the match on by accepting Mamata Banerjee’s problem. “If I can’t defeat her by half lakh votes, I will quit politics,” he declared in Kolkata.
Meanwhile, talking on the event, Amit Malviya, the BJP’s social media head and in-charge of Bengal opined that the WB CM’s determination was clearly an indication of nervousness. “Mamata Banerjee’s decision to shift seat from Bhowanipore to Nandigram, for the first time in 10 years, indicates her political nervousness… Will she explain why IPS Satyajit Bandopadhyay, charge-sheeted by CBI for firing on protesting farmers in Nandigram, was inducted in TMC?”, tweeted the BJP chief.
