Four days after Bhabanipur win, Mamata Banerjee takes oath as West Bengal MLA
Kolkata/IBNS: Four days after winning in the Bhabanipur bypoll, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday took oath as an MLA in the assembly.
Her oath was administered by Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar.
Banerjee, who was pitted against BJP's Priyanka Tibrewal, won by 58,832 votes.
In a bypoll where little over 57 percent people cast their votes, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo was favoured by 84,709 voters.
Along with Banerjee, two other TMC MLAs-elect from Jangipur and Samserganj, Jakir Hossain and Amirul Islam respectively, also took oath Thursday.
