News Desk: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who swept the Bengal election but lost her own contest in Nandigram, is set to return to the seat she gave up in favour of challenging her former aide Suvendu Adhikari in his stronghold.
The Trinamool MLA who won from Bhawanipore in the just concluded Assembly polls, Shobhandeb Chattopadhyay, submitted his resignation from the Bengal assembly this afternoon to enable his party boss to contest from the seat.
“Mamata Banerjee will fight from Bhawanipore in the coming six months,” Mr Chattopadhyay said while on his way to submit his resignation to Assembly Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay. He will continue as agriculture minister for six months, during which time he will contest from another seat to return to Assembly.
