TMC leads in Kolkata, close race in Bengal

Mamata Banerjee

Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress to take a big lead in Kolkata municipal managers in 71 departments out of one hundred and forty-Left Front is far behind the leader in only 41 divisions, while the Congress is leading in three seats, while the other smaller parties ahead in two.

But the overall picture is not so rosy for the TMC. A party is leading in just
12 municipalities, while the Left Front is ahead in 1914 with congressional leaders in six.

A total of 81 civilian bodies have gone to elections across the state with the Left Front government controls 54 civilian bodies. Counting of votes began Wednesday morning.

Trinamool Congress fights without Congress' support, in contrast to the 2009 General Election when the alliance swept the state.

The Trinamool Congress, which won an impressive victory in the 2009 elections in the state, islooking to keep their winning streak. Mamata has argued that if the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) lose the bourgeois elections, the state will see election in the next three months.

The Left Front and the main ingredient in the state, the Communist Party of India-Marxist it is a struggle to survive after they lost ground in 2009 parliamentary elections.

CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury said the Left Front was prepared and civilian election result would be to his advantage.

"The results indicate that the turnaround in Bengal in a big way," said Yechury.

The bourgeois elections have been marked by violent clashes between Trinamool and the Left Front supporters.
