CM, ‘councillors’ talk roadmap for Siliguri devp

The CM arrived in Siliguri yesterday, hours after the election results showed that the Trinamul Congress had won 37 of the 47 wards in the SMC. Miss Banerjee has said that there should not be more demands than the basic issues like houses, cycles, scooters or a car. "We need to go with the people. The more people give you, the more we need to trust them,"

It is said that a section of party leaders under the leadership of Gautam Deb, the former minister for North Bengal Development and tourism, have worked hard to bag a majority of seats of the SMC this time around. Though a group of political analysts here predicts that the TMC will finally have the last laugh in Siliguri, CPI-M strongman Asok Bhattacharya, after reviewing the post-poll scenario, has said that the Left would form an alliance with the Congress to form the SMC board.

At Das Para, the DYFI local committee member and booth convener of the ward, Satyajit Das, said around 60 ruling members of the TMC led by former ward councilor and husband of TMC candidate (Sampa Nandy) Jaydip Nandy hounded the local people at 11 pm last night. Mr Das alleged they also hurled bombs and fired at least two rounds of bullets in the air. Police, however, said they did not find any evidence to substantiate the charges.
