The Trinamool Congress won the Asansol Lok Sabha constituency and the Ballygunge assembly segment by-polls.
Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, the Trinamool Congress’s candidate from Asansol Lok Sabha seat, won the bypoll with a huge margin, registering the party’s first-ever electoral victory in the constituency.
Babul Supriyo won the Ballygunge assembly constituency by 19,904 votes, Shatrughan Sinha won the Asansol parliamentary seat by a record margin of 3,07,073 lakh votes beating BJP’s Agnimitra Paul.
In the Ballygunge Assembly segment, Trinamool’s Babul Supriyo, who switched from the BJP, emerged a winner.
The by-polls, which took place on April 12, were necessitated as Supriyo resigned as the MP of Asansol after switching over to the TMC from the BJP, while state minister Subrata Mukherjee, who represented Ballygunge, died last year.
