Congress Farakka candidate wins election after his name was deleted during SIR NEW DELHI: In the Farakka constituency of West Bengal, an interesting case related to the Special Intensive Revision and the assembly elections took place. A Congress candidate whose name had been struck off the electoral rolls during the SIR, fought the case, won back his voting rights and later conquered the constituency too.Congress candidate Motab Shaikh won the Farakka assembly seat in Murshidabad district, after successfully restoring his eligibility through a Supreme Court-mandated tribunal process.Shaikh defeated BJP’s Sunil Chowdhuri by 8,193 votes, securing 63,050 votes against Chowdhuri’s 54,857, while Trinamool Congress candidate Amirul Islam finished third with 47,256 votes.The victory marks a significant turnaround for the Congress, which also won the Raninagar seat, overcoming the setback of failing to secure a single seat in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections.Shaikh’s win is notable given that his name was initially missing from the electoral rolls following the SIR exercise. He challenged the deletion before an appellate tribunal, one of 19 bodies constituted on the Supreme Court’s directions to examine such cases. The tribunal restored his voting rights shortly before the nomination deadline, allowing him to contest the election.In Shaikh’s case, Calcutta high court advocate Firdous Samim appeared in person at Bichar Bhawan and submitted the necessary documents, leading to the restoration of his name in the rolls.Referring to the Supreme Court’s order dated September 8, 2025, former Justice TS Sivagnanam observed that an Aadhar card can be accepted as a supporting document. Though it is not a proof of citizenship, it is “one of the documents enumerated for the purpose of establishing the identity of a person”.Congress also registered a win in the neighbouring Raninagar constituency, where its candidate Julfikar Ali defeated Trinamool’s Soumik Hossain by 2,701 votes, signalling a modest but symbolically important revival for the party in the state.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: A day after the BJP’s sweeping victory in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday refused to accept the verdict as a reflection of public mandate and declared that she will not be resigning, alleging irregularities and signalling a multi-pronged political and legal response.“No question of me resigning, we were defeated not by public mandate but by conspiracy,” Mamata Banerjee said, addressing a press conference in Kolkata.Escalating her attack, she said, “We did not fight BJP, we fought EC which worked for the saffron party,”.The TMC chief also announced that the party will set up a 10-member fact-finding committee to visit areas affected by post-poll violence across the state.The statements come even as the BJP tightened its grip on the assembly, taking its tally to 207 seats in the 294-member House after a recount victory in Rajarhat-New Town. The result followed Monday’s decisive mandate, which saw the BJP cross the two-thirds mark and end the TMC’s 15-year rule in the state.With the current assembly term ending on May 6, attention has now shifted to government formation. According to reports, the oath-taking ceremony is likely on May 9, coinciding with Rabindranath Tagore’s birth anniversary, though an official announcement is awaited.What happens next? As per procedure, Mamata Banerjee is expected to resign as chief minister but continue in a caretaker capacity until the new government is sworn in. The BJP, as the majority party, will then stake claim to form the government, following which the governor will invite its leader to take oath.Even as the transition process begins, the TMC may pursue multiple options in response to the electoral outcome. However, Mamata Banerjee may find it difficult to sustain her stance of not stepping down as chief minister.TMC may explore legal options including election petitions in the culcutta high court. There is also discussion around broader political mobilisation on the ground and the possibility of coordinated action with INDIA bloc allies.”Sonia ji, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, Uddhav Thackeray, Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Hemant Soren rang me up. All the allies of INDIA Alliance told me that they are totally and absolutely with me. I think our solidarity will be united and strong for the next days. Akhilesh requested me if he can come today itself but I told him to come tomorrow. So, he will come tomorrow.” TMC Supremo Mamata Banerjee said. “One by one everyone will come. My target is very clear. I will strengthen the INDIA team, just like a small person. I don’t have any chair now, so I am a commoner. So, you cannot tell me that I am using your chair. I am now a free bird. I gave my entire life in service to the people, even in these 15 years I have not withdrawn one paisa of pension. I am not taking one paisa of salary also. But now, I am a free bird. So, I have to do some work, that I will manage to do.” She added.
