Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has congratulated West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her party Trinamool Congress for her resounding victory in the by-polls.
In a message to Mamata Banerjee, the Foreign Minister hoped that Bangladesh’s relations with West Bengal would be closer and complementary in the days to come in the interest of mutual welfare and development.
Dr Momen said the landslide victory in the Bhabanipur constituency for the third consecutive term is a reflection of the people of West Bengal’s continued confidence and deep faith in Mamata Banerjee’s leadership.
He wished the people of West Bengal all the betterment and prosperity under the able leadership of Mamata Banerjee.
The Foreign Minister wished the Chief Minister of West Bengal good health and continued success and greeted her ahead of Durga Puja.
Mamata Banerjee won Bhabanipur Assembly by-polls on Sunday by a record margin of 58,832 votes against Priyanka Tibrewal of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This victory makes Banerjee a member of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly and will allow her to continue as Chief Minister of West Bengal.
She was unanimously elected Chief Minister by the Trinamool Congress legislature party in May 2021.
