Siliguri Corporation Election!

LF’s losing spree, that started in a big way ever since LS polls, is continuing unabated. Now it’s fared badly in Siliguri Corporation election too. It’s bagged only 17 seats out of 47.Cong and TMC combine will form the board.However,it’s no denying the fact L.F govt has done a lot for the development of Siliguri.It’s now the second most important commercial hub next to Kolkata.Those who were in Siliguri in early seventies would feel if it were the place they once stayed! Such is the change the place’s undergone in couple of years. True, compared with other places development of Siliguri is remarkably noticeable but there’re essential areas like domestic water supply, under ground sewerage system etc that demand proper attention and implementation.Any way, development issue is unlikely to attribute to LF’s poll debacle.Perhaps what has played the pivotal role is anti-incumbency factor coupled with the wind of change now blowing across the state.Interestingly,corporation seats are now almost equally shared by TMC, Congress and CPM!
