Mamata Banerjee suffered a significant personal defeat in Bhabanipur, losing her long-held bastion to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari by over 15,000 votes. This marks her second consecutive loss to Adhikari. Despite an early lead, Banerjee was ultimately overcome. She alleged the election was rigged and looted by the BJP, vowing to return.
