Giant Killer! BJP s Chandana Bauri, wife of daily wager, beats TMC heavyweight in Saltora
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Chandana Bauri from the Saltora Assembly seat in Bankura district of West Bengal scripted history by winning from here in the just concluded elections. She defeated TMC heavyweight Sontosh Kumar Mondal by a margin of more than 4,000 votes.
