I congratulate them,” she added.The bypoll was necessitated following the death of the sitting Trinamool MLA Nasiruddin Ahmed. Alifa is the daughter of Nasiruddin Ahmed.Meanwhile, citing voting trend BJP leader Amit Malviya claimed that BJP got more Hindu votes in Kaliganj this time compared to previous Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.“This surge is a direct result of rising Hindutva consciousness and the backlash against recent Murshidabad riots. The truth: Mamata Banerjee’s TMC is surviving on a captive vote bank of Muslims, illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators and radical elements,” wrote Malviya on his X handle. “Just like they dumped the Left, Hindus of Bengal have dumped Mamata. 2026 won’t be a bypoll. It’ll be a full-blown revolution,” he added.Meanwhile Congress candidate Shaikh alleged that the BJP and the TMC ensured together to divide votes among communal lines.
