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.

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.
Notably, some former councilors like Nikhil Sahani, Durga Singh, Satyajit Adhikari, Rabi Roy and Chandrani Mondal were denied party tickets this time around. As a result, discontent has grown in the party, party sources said.
The panel includes party veteran and state general secretary Pratul Chakraborty, district party chairman Alok Chakravarty, Mrs Ghosh herself, three-party town committee presidents-Pradip Goyal (Town-I), Jayanta Kar (II), Dulal Dutta (III), and spokesperson Bedabrata Dutta.
