Tekhali (Nandigram, West Bengal): Nandigram in East Medinipur played a crucial role in toppling the Left government in Bengal and propelled Mamata Banerjee to the chief ministerial position in 2011. Ten years later, when Banerjee is fighting arguably the most difficult election of her political career, she brings back the fight to square one â Nandigram.
Why Suvendu Adhikari, who quit TMC and will likely join BJP, matters in West Bengal politics
While the suspense continues over his future plans, Suvendu Adhikari is reportedly just a step away from joining many other TMC rebels in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Mamata Banerjee’s trusted lieutenant Suvendu Adhikari has dumped the West Bengal Chief Minister months ahead of next year’s assembly polls.
Suvendu, credited with strengthening the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in rural West Bengal resigned as an MLA from Nandigram on December 16. He resigned as state transport minister last month.
