The Trinamool Congress suffered a major defeat in the Kolkata High Court Club elections, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won seven out of 10 seats, including the positions of president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, joint vice-president and one joint secretary seat.
The BJP gained a decisive advantage due to vote splitting between the TMC and independent candidates. Initially, TMC’s Sanjib Da campaigned for the secretary post, but the party later replaced him and nominated Bishwabrata Basu Mallik.
In a last-minute change, Mallik withdrew his nomination. As a result, the secretary post saw a direct contest between the BJP and an Independent candidate, where the saffron party prevailed.
The elected BJP members are:
President: Kallol MondalVice President: Anindya BasuGeneral Secretary: Arun Kr. UpadhyayAsst. Secretary: Madhu JanaTreasurer: Bijitesh MukherjeeCommittee Members: Aishwarya Rajyashree, Puja Sonkar“In the Calcutta High Court Club elections, the candidates supported by the BJP have won 7 out of 10 seats. Conveying our heartfelt best wishes and saffron congratulations to them. May the coming days of the victors be filled with success and honour," wrote Union Minister and BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar.
