She expressed gratitude towards the people of Dhanpur, saying that some love her as their aunt and some as their daughter.

Bhowmik also claimed that her victory in the seat would be a victory for the people of Dhanpur and her homeland.

Notably, nobody can hold positions in the parliament as well as in the state assembly.
Wednesday was her final day to make a decision between her post as an MP and MLA.
Therefore, she resigned from the post of MLA of Tripura.
