TMC's choice of candidate for Maniktala assembly bypoll has brought to fore the subterranean sparring for control of TMC between founder Mamata Banerjee and 'heir' Abhishek Banerjee.
Incumbent Ghulam Rabbani moved to horticulture department. On 2 March, TMC suffered a major setback after CPI(Marxist)-backed Congress candidate Bayron Biswas defeated TMC’s Debashish Banerjee.

Mamata Banerjee, who represented Bhabanipur in 2011 and 2016, is up against BJP's Priyanka Tibrewal and the CPI(M)'s Shrijeeb Biswas in the 30 September bypoll.
If the question, “If not Modi, who?” worked for the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, then “If not Didi, who?” may come to haunt it in West Bengal in 2021.
