Kolkata, Ta. Monday, May 2, 2021

Within West Bengal, the TMC has won a landslide victory. However, Mamata Banerjee has lost her Nandigram seat. The BJP's Shubhendu official has defeated him by 1700 votes which Mamata Banerjee and her party have said they will go to court for the Nandigram seat. Now many people may be wondering if Mamata Banerjee has lost the election, who will be the next Chief Minister? Can he become CM even after losing the election?

The answer to this question is that even after losing the election, Mamata Banerjee will be the new Chief Minister of West Bengal. Under Article 164 of the Indian Constitution, he can be sworn in as Chief Minister. Article 164 (4) states that a minister who has not been a member of the State Legislature for six consecutive months must resign. Which means Mamata Banerjee will have to win elections from any assembly seat within six months.

Even when Mamata Banerjee became Chief Minister for the first time in 2011, she was an MP, she did not contest the Assembly elections. A few months later he met Tajit from Bhawanipur. Then this time Pum he should fight the election again. Congress leader and law expert Abhishek Sanghvi said that legally and morally, no one should be in trouble if Mamata Banerjee wins the elections within six months of becoming the chief minister.

It may be mentioned here that for the third time in a row, a TMC government is going to be formed in Bengal, which will be headed by Mamata Banerjee. With this victory, Mamata Banerjee's political stature has increased. He has emerged as a non-BJP and non-Congress leader.
