The Bharatiya Janata Party has taken a commanding lead in the West Bengal assembly by-elections for Nandigram and Rejinagar. In Nandigram, BJP candidate Hasirani Rath moved ahead by approximately 28,000 to 30,000 votes after early rounds of counting against Congress nominee Milan Pradhan, who is backed by the Trinamool Congress. The constituency recorded an 80.89 per cent voter turnout. Meanwhile, the Congress party has rejected the vote count, alleging severe electoral malpractices, booth-level irregularities, and administrative misuse. Calling the polling process a mockery, opposition leaders staged protests demanding the cancellation of results and fresh elections in both constituencies, while the BJP dismissed the allegations following enthusiastic celebrations by party workers.

00:00Meanwhile, let me tell you about what the BJP's landslide is looking like in Nandhigram and Reginanagar in Bengal.
00:07BJP is taking a comfortable lead in Reginanagar and Nandhigram.
00:12Especially again, Nandhigram, remember, one of the most significant constituencies when it comes to Bengal.
00:17And why is this important?
00:20Remember, the mother of the slain PA of Suvendu Adhikari,
00:25she had contested the elections and is leading Hansirani Rath is leading from Nandhigram's seat.
00:33BJP is racing ahead in Reginanagar also.
00:36And again, if both these seats go to the Bhatia Janata party, it will be reflective of one,
00:43the situation turning, the tide turning in Bengal,
00:47once a bastion of the left wing, then of the Trinamool Congress,
00:51now showing their trust in the Saffron party.
00:55All right, the Sindhwar Khela already looks like is happening.
01:00Indrajeet Kundu is on the ground. Indrajeet, over to you.
01:30That is Indrajeet Kundu telling us,
01:32basically about a certain, the significance of the seat of Nandhigram.
01:37Why is it important as much for whether it is the TMC for Mamata Banerji
01:42and how the seat had been represented earlier by the TMC
01:46and then how it could now be a significant seat that could become a bastion for the Bhatia Janata party.
01:53Remember, this is one state that has seen the wipeout of one era after another.
02:00And for the longest time, however, that era has sustained,
02:04whether it is of the left wing, then whether it is of Mamata Banerji's Trinamool Congress.
02:09If there is a change that we have seen in Bengal and that's happening with the BJP,
02:14does it become a Saffron era for the state of Bengal?
02:18Nandhigram by-elections have been dead, so all eyes will be on the key by-poll results as well.

02:28Three rounds of counting have happened in which BJP's candidate is leading
02:32with over 28,000 votes, 30,000 approximately.
02:36And this is, of course, remember, the postal ballots that are open first.
02:40Nandhigram will be a massive test.
02:42It's BJP's Hasirani Rat.
02:44If she retains the seat against Congress candidate Milan Pradhan,
02:47which is also backed by Mamata Banerjee's camp, it will be a huge victory.
02:52Polling recorded a strong 80.89% turnout in Nandhigram.
02:58But this election has had its own share of controversy.
03:01Remember, the Congress has alleged in Bengal,
03:03especially the state where the SIR was also done first,
03:06that there was vote jury, irregularities, malpractices,
03:10and have demanded a re-election, questioning the conduct of the polling process
03:13and going by how these allegations fly,
03:17the BJP has rejected the charges.
03:18And for now, in by-elections in Nandhigram,
