Nandigram incident shows Didi losing, she might fight from another seat: Modi taunts Mamata

At a rally in Uluberia, Modi said, "The Nandigram incident shows Didi is losing in Nandigram. We are hearing that she might fight from another seat."

"Didi, are you going to file your nomination from another seat?" the BJP stalwart added.

Immediately after the PM's remark, top sources of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) have confirmed the question of Mamata Banerjee fighting from any other seat doesn’t arise. The party has claimed she is winning in Nandigram 'comfortably'.

A standoff between the TMC and BJP workers in Nandigram's Boyal occurred after Mamata reached one polling station in the area at around 1:40 pm. after it was reported that a TMC polling agent was denied an entry into a booth.

Mamata was captivated inside the polling booth for nearly two hours until she was rescued by CRPF and police personnel.

She had also complained against the BJP to the Election Commission and Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar.

After her trusted soldier Suvendu quit the TMC, Mamata took the reigns of her party in Nandigram by announcing her candidature from the seat, leaving her traditional Bhabanipore constituency.

Interestingly, Mamata while announcing the TMC's candidate list had said she might fight from Tollygunge seat in Kolkata, triggering speculations over her political move.
