TMC won the recent assembly elections with 213 win out of the 292 seats. But Banerjee was defeated by Suvendu Adhikari from Nandigram in Purba Medinipur. That is why the Bhabanipur by-elections are important for the TMC and Banerjee. She has to win the by-election to retain her post.

Firhand Hakim, Subrata Mukherjee, and Partha Chatterjee are the experienced leaders who are responsible for the campaign. These are the senior leaders of the party. On the other hand, MP Mala Roy is in charge of uniting and getting women's votes.

At a recent organizational meeting, Banerjee said that “if you sit at home believing that Didi (Banerjee) would win anyway, the web of deception will have far-reaching consequences.” Everyone has to work hard and ensure that all the citizens come to vote.
