Suvendu Adhikari and Vijay to Vacate One Assembly Seat Each After Dual Wins

Following recent assembly election victories, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari announced he will vacate one of his two West Bengal seats within 10 days, with the party deciding which to retain. Adhikari defeated Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur and also won Nandigram. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu's Vijay, who won two seats, is expected to keep Perambur and vacate Tiruchirappalli East. These decisions will prompt byelections, influencing political dynamics in both states.
