"This is fraud in the name of votes," says BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar alleges after TMC sweeps bypoll

West Medinipur (West Bengal) [India], July 13 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sukanta Majumdar on Saturday alleged that TMC committed "fraud" in bypolls stating that in some booths the party received "three and four votes".
"The way the results have come, BJP has got three votes in some booths, and four votes in some booths, this is fraud in the name of votes...We have complained to the Election Commission earlier also but there was no hearing," Majumdar said.
The Trinamool Congress won all four seats in the West Bengal Assembly bypoll on Saturday.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that out of four seats, her party has won back three seats that were formerly held by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and has retained one seat previously held by the TMC.
"Among the four seats, three were held by the BJP, both in the Lok Sabha and in the Vidhan Sabha. We have won all three and held on to our seat as well. That means four out of four. I express my gratitude to our people for this victory," Banerjee said speaking to reporters in Kolkata on Saturday.
Thanking people for her party's victory the Trinamool supremo said, "We are dedicating our victory in the Lok Sabha polls and Vidhan Sabha polls to July 21...Despite all conspiracy, on one hand the BJP and on the other hand the agencies, people have voted for us."
Speaking about Raiganj assembly bypoll, Banerjee said, "BJP and Congress made us lose (from Raiganj) by using money in polls. Then I asked Krishna Kalyani to contest the polls because he was the MLA from the region. He accepted the challenge and we are grateful to people for voting him to power."
"In Ranaghat, Mukut Mani was a BJP MLA like Krishna Kalyani. After he joined our party, we gave him ticket. He lost the Lok Sabha polls from Ranaghat maybe due to false campaigning, hatred and conspiracy by the Election Commission. But he has won the Assembly bypoll this time. He was a BJP MLA. Ranaghat is a BJP seat that has now been won by the TMC," she added.
Speaking about Bagdah assembly bypolls where the TMC has fielded their youngest candidate, Banerjee said, "In Bagdah as well, Biswajit (Das) lost the polls. But he is a good, strong leader. He said that he will contest in future but he is not willing to contest this seat now. So we fielded our youngest candidate, Mamatabala Thakur's daughter Madhuparna Thakur. Madhuparna has given a tough fight. People over there supported us and she has won."
