During the second phase of West Bengal's Assembly elections, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee actively campaigned in her Bhabanipur constituency, visiting multiple polling booths despite rain and engaging with party workers. Traditionally staying at home on voting day, she changed her approach amid a tight contest against BJP's Suvendu Adhikari. Bhabanipur, once considered her stronghold, is now highly competitive with reports of intimidation and narrow margins, drawing significant political attention.
