Mamata Banerjee wins Bengal, but loses Nandigram to Suvendu Adhikari

While the TMC has won the state election, what has soured its celebrations is that the party chief Mamata Banerjee has been unable to win from Nandigram where she was contesting against her former aide and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari.

Speaking on the Nandigram result, Mamata Banerjee said, "It is not lost. We have asked for recounting of votes because votes have been tampered with there. Even on the polling day, I was sitting outside the polling booth for three hours because no one was being allowed to vote."
