Lotus Blooms in Rejinagar! BJP's Shakharav Sarkar Wins by 75,816 Votes, Humayun's Party in Second Place

**Rejinagar:** BJP has achieved a significant victory in the minority-dominated Rejinagar assembly constituency of Murshidabad. In the by-election, BJP candidate Shakharav Sarkar won by a margin of 75,816 votes. This victory has sparked renewed discussions about the political equations in Rejinagar. The position of Humayun Kabir's party, the Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), has particularly caught attention. According to the election results, Humayun Kabir's party is in second place, with Congress in third, Trinamool Congress in fourth, CPI(M) in fifth, and Democratic Trinamool in sixth.


From the morning, BJP candidate Shakharav Sarkar was leading in the counting. As the rounds progressed, his chances of victory became clearer. Finally, he was declared the winner by a huge margin. This victory of BJP in a minority-dominated constituency like Rejinagar is seen as significant in the state’s politics by some political circles.


### Humayun Kabir's Son's Party in Second Place


There was already political interest surrounding the by-election in the Rejinagar assembly constituency. After vacating this seat, Humayun Kabir had nominated his son Ghulam Nabi Azad as the candidate. His party, the Aam Janata Unnayan Party, has emerged in second place in the electoral battle.


On the other hand, the significant victory margin of BJP's Shakharav Sarkar has brought the electoral results of this constituency into special discussion. While Congress is in third place, Trinamool Congress is in fourth. CPI(M) is in fifth place and Democratic Trinamool is in sixth. As a result, the outcome of this by-election in Rejinagar has become a topic for review among various political parties.


### 909 Votes for BJP Candidate at Booth 109


The results from booth number 109 in Rejinagar have also attracted special attention. According to the information received, the total number of voters at this booth was 1,109. On the day of the by-election, 972 votes were cast. Among them, BJP candidate Shakharav Sarkar received 909 votes.


On the other hand, the AJUP candidate, who was mentioned as BJP's closest competitor at that booth, received only one vote. According to the votes cast, BJP received about 93.5% of the votes, which is close to 94%.


The huge margin of votes at one booth has become one of the most discussed aspects of the electoral results. However, one booth's results cannot determine the overall sentiment of the voters in the constituency. To understand the overall electoral results, it is essential to consider the statistics from all booths in the constituency.


### Chief Minister's Statement on Minority Votes After Victory


After BJP's victory in Rejinagar, Chief Minister Shuvendu Adhikari made a statement regarding minority votes. From Nabanna, he claimed that such a large margin of victory would not have been possible without the support of the minority community.


The Chief Minister stated that instead of the fears and propaganda regarding minorities, people have expressed confidence in BJP. He said that the minority community has extended a hand of friendship towards BJP, disregarding that propaganda.


He also referred to the elections during the Congress era in 1972, claiming that no situation similar to that time was seen in this election. He stated that currently, a fear-free environment and a climate of trust among people have been created in the state.


### Response to Propaganda Regarding Detention Centers, Claims the Chief Minister


The Chief Minister also claimed that the minority community was frightened about detention centers. He stated that people did not believe that fear and propaganda. The people of Bengal do not want to be influenced by old political tactics, he commented.


In light of the results from Rejinagar, the Chief Minister claimed that the support of the minority community has shifted towards BJP. However, this statement should be considered as a claim of political leadership; to reach an overall conclusion about voter sentiment, it is necessary to analyze detailed electoral statistics and reliable information.


### New Equations in State Politics Surrounding Rejinagar Results?


BJP's victory by 75,816 votes in Rejinagar has added a new dimension to the political discussions in the state. Especially, BJP's success in this minority-dominated constituency and Humayun Kabir's party being in second place has caught the attention of political circles.


However, how much this result will impact future politics will depend on the political situation in the coming days, the organizational strength of the parties, and the continuity of voter support.


Overall, Shakharav Sarkar's massive victory in Rejinagar and the second place of the Aam Janata Unnayan Party is one of the major news of this by-election. The Chief Minister's statement regarding minority votes after the victory has also reignited political debates.
