Out of the seven municipal wards under the Ballygunge Assembly constituency, in the two minority-dominated wards -- No. 64 and No. 65 -- Saira Shah Halim was ahead of Babul Supriyo.

Meanwhile, BJP IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya took a dig at TMC's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee and the party's state youth wing chief Saayoni Ghosh over its decision to field Sinha from Asansol Lok Sabha constituency.

Supriyo won from the Asansol parliamentary constituency twice in 2014 and in 2019.

Earlier, just after joining Trinamool Congress, Supriyo had made it clear that he would not hold MP post as it would be immoral as he was elected MP of Asansol on BJP ticket and he is no more in BJP.

"I will continue to work constitutionally as an MP in Asansol. Politics is beyond the constitutional post and I withdraw myself from it. I will not join any other party. I will vacate the MP bungalow in Delhi and release security personnel from their duties soon," he was quoted saying.

The two-time MP from Asansol was among the several ministers who were dropped from the union cabinet on July 7 as part of a major rejig. His unsuccessfully contested assembly polls against Trinamool Congress's Aroop Biswas in the last assembly elections.
