New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda has said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is “certainly” losing from Nandigram and is therefore searching for another seat to contest.
On being asked on reports of the Trinamool Congress chief searching for another seat to contest in the assembly elections, Nadda told ANI: “This is their strategy and they know better about it, but we have information that she is searching and their people have said so to me. However, I cannot take a guarantee of this as they know it. But she is losing Nandigram, this is certain.”
That is her (Mamata Banerjee) strategy, she will know. But we have info that she is looking for it (another constituency). Her people told me this. She will know it but it is certain that she is losing in Nandigram: BJP chief JP Nadda to ANI in Guwahati, Assam pic.twitter.com/8o4v0n5oT2

On Thursday, Nandigram witnessed a direct contest between Mamata and her former colleague Suvendu Adhikari, who had joined the BJP in December last year.
Nandigram is the home turf of Adhikari, while Mamata contested from Nandigram and not from her home turf Bhabanipur constituency. The second phase of the West Bengal assembly polls recorded over 80 per cent voting turnout. The third phase of polling will be held on April 6.

In the first 2 phases, it is clear that TMC is gone and BJP is coming here. BJP's victory is certain: BJP chief JP Nadda in Guwahati, Assam pic.twitter.com/fX6Fvzott3
