PoliticsAI imageNandigram: From Mamata's Triumph to Political Challenge
Nandigram in West Bengal's Purba Medinipur district has been central to Mamata Banerjee's political journey. It was the site of 2007 anti-land acquisition protests, which helped her rise to power. In 2021, she lost the seat to Suvendu Adhikari, who later became Chief Minister. Ahead of the October 6 by-election, Mamata's candidate withdrew, leaving her without a nominee. This marks a significant political setback in Nandigram, a symbol of West Bengal's political shifts.
