Big shock to TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee
Phalta assembly seat comes under Diamond Harbor Lok Sabha constituency. Jahangir Khan had tremendous influence on this seat. Jahangir has been considered closest to Abhishek Banerjee. It is said that Jahangir played a tremendous role in the Lok Sabha elections. This was the reason why Abhishek had won a record victory in Diamond Harbor by 7,10,930 votes. Won by only 40000 votes in 2021.
