Amit Malviya hits out at Mamata Banerjee

BJP IT cell's national in-charge Amit Malviya targeted Mamata Banerjee over the mosque visit. He tweeted, "If you thought Bhabanipur was a “no contest” and Mamata Banerjee was confident of winning hands down, forget it. She is sweating. This visit to Sola Ana Masjid is not “sudden” but a planned visit to seek votes from ward 77. In the next few days, she will hop from booth to booth".

Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay of Trinamool Congress, who won the Bhabanipur assembly seat in the last assembly elections, had resigned to field Mamata Banerjee from the seat, leading to the Election Commission announcing the bypoll. Mamata Banerjee had lost the election from Nandigram to BJP's Shuvendu Adhikari and will have to be elected by November 5 to retain the Chief Minister's post.
