She had defeated Suvendu Adhikari in 1,200 votes and all set to become the Chief Minister of West Bengal for the third consecutive time. 

His sudden announcement has come in a shock and it has stirred debates on social media on whether he is going to launch a political party. 

Prashant Kishor has opened up and responded back to the audio clip and asked the BJP to show courage and share the full chat.

In what has become a major admission, it has come a day ahead of the second phase of the eight-phased assembly polls in which her Nandigram constituency will go for voting. 

However, the recent audio clip had sparked outrage and went against Mamata Banerjee at a high time when the polling has begun in a key battleground state. 

Besides being the opposition party, Mamata had recently developed a strong feud with the Central ruling BJP after some of her legislators had switched side and joined BJP. 

The Chief Minister said that she was injured after being attacked by some people during her campaign trail in Nandigram, the constituency where she will be contesting in the upcoming assembly polls.

While the TMC supporters claimed that the attack was plotted, the opposition parties in the state including BJP, Congress, and Communist had labeled the incident as 'drama'. 

Let's take a look at the key highlights and new measures announced by Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora.
