After sweeping the by-polls in West Bengal, workers of the Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) allegedly captured BJP offices in various parts of the state and painted them green. According to a Times Now channel report, TMC workers captured four offices of the BJP in Kankinara, Naihati, Madral and Barrackpore after a victory in the by-polls, the results of which were declared on Thursday.

In a clean sweep, the TMC showed signs of a comeback after it bagged all the three seats, leaving the BJP at the second position in all. While it took away Kaliaganj and Kharagpur Sadar seats from Congress and BJP, the party retained its Karimpur seat with a massive mandate.

This is the first time the TMC won Kaliaganj and Kharagpur Sadar seats. The development came as a shocker to the BJP, which has made significant inroads in the eastern state. The BJP's share was visible when it bagged 18 seats in the Lok Sabha polls and took significant leads in the Kaliaganj and Kharagpur Sadar seats during the general elections.

Interestingly, in the by-polls, the Congress-CPI(M) alliance failed to win a single seat but played a spoilsport for the BJP by bagging the anti-TMC votes in Kaliaganj and Kharagpur Sadar seats.

Tapan Deb Sinha of TMC won the Kaliaganj seats with 97428 votes defeating BJP's Kamal Chandra Sarkar by 2,414 votes. Kharagpur Sadar, a seat which was held by BJP's state unit chief Dilip Ghosh before he was elected to Lok Sabha, was bagged by TMC's Pradip Sarkar with a margin of 20853 votes. He defeated BJP's Premchandra Jha. Bimalendu Sinha Roy of the TMC won by over 23,910 votes defeating his BJP rival Jaiprakash Majumdar in the Karimpur seat.
