After Mamata Banerjee won Bhabanipur bypolls with 85,263 votes, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Priyanka Tibrewal claimed that she is the ''Man of the Match'' as she secured more than 25,000 votes in the stronghold of West Bengal.
The BJP leader bagged 26,428 votes, as per the Election Commission of India.
"I am ''Man of the Match'' of this game because I contested the election in Mamata Banerjee's stronghold and got more than 25,000 votes. I will continue doing the hard work," Ms Tibrewal told ANI.
Mamata Banerjee's Bhabanipur by-poll victory was important to retain the Chief Minister's post.
