In TMC sweep, Siliguri solace for Left, Ashoke Bhattacharya is elected Siliguri Mayor
Madhuparna Das, ENS, Kolkata, April 29, 2015: Despite the Trinamool Congress sweeping KMC and civic bodies’ elections, it was CPM which managed to emerge victorious in the Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC) in North Bengal — the most important local body after Kolkata — on Tuesday.
Former Left Front minister Ashok Bhattacharya, who was in charge of elections in Siliguri, is now the mayor-designate for the municipality.
CPM, which has won in 23 out of the 47 seats — six more than Trinamool — in the civic body, needs one more to form the board.
