On Saturday, the TMC emerged victorious in Raiganj, Bagda, Ranaghat Dakshin, and Maniktala assembly segments, marking a significant electoral sweep.

Counting of votes began at 8 am for the Maniktala, Bagdah, Ranaghat Dakshin, and Raiganj seats in West Bengal, and Rupauli in Bihar’s Purnea district.

Sporadic incidents of violence were reported from Bagdah, Maniktala and Ranaghat Dakshin as the BJP accused TMC of assaulting its booth agents and stopping its candidates from visiting some polling stations.

By-elections will be held on Wednesday in four assembly seats in West Bengal— Maniktala in Kolkata, Ranaghat Dakshin in Nadia district, Bagdah in North 24 Parganas district and Raiganj in North Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district.
