KOLKATA: Trinamool won with an overwhelming majority all four municipal corporations that voted last weekend, reinforcing the party’s grip on Bengal‘s five of the biggest cities. BJP won just 12 seats in the four civic bodies, which undermines its growth as the state’s main opposition party.
Trinamool won 39 of 41 seats in the politically significant Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation, 91 of 106 in the state’s second largest city Asansol, 37 of 47 in north Bengal’s biggest city Siliguri and 31 of Chandernagore’s 33 seats. The party already has a 135-out-of-144 majority in Kolkata corporation.
