By PTI
KOLKATA: TMC chief Babul Supriyo gained the Ballygunge meeting by-poll on Saturday, defeating his nearest rival of the CPI(M), Saira Shah Halim, by a margin of 20,228 votes.
Supriyo garnered 51,199 votes towards Halim’s 30,971 votes.
Interestingly, Halim has overtaken BJP’s Keya Ghosh who bagged simply 13,220 votes, thus lending some credence to the communist get together’s declare that it was on a revival path.
Kamruzzaman Choudhury of the Congress pocketed 5,218 votes.
