Bengal Bypolls
Accept people's mandate: BJP's Asansol candidate Agnimitra Paul after massive defeat
Asansol/IBNS: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from West Bengal's Asansol Lok Sabha constituency, which went to bypolls on Apr 12, has accepted her massive defeat in the hands of veteran Bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha who had contested on a Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate.
"I accept people's mandate. We thought of winning it but the result was unexpected because we were getting responses. We have to work to recover before 2024 (General Elections), said Paul.
The TMC has won the Asansol Lok Sabha seat since its inception with Sinha registering a massive victory.
The Asansol Lok Sabha constituency fell vacant after the resignation of Union Minister Babul Supriyo, who jumped from the BJP to TMC last year.
The Asansol constituency, which was under the Left's control, saw the BJP's win in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
