Siliguri Mayor Election!

Many thought Siliguri Mayor election would end in a happy note for
TMC as it did at Sealdah and Bowbazar elections. Like in other instances,
it was expected, here too TMC and Congress would lock horns in their claim for the post of Mayor till Congress High Command intervened and gave her verdict in favour of TMC in the interest of Cong-TMC alliance that has spectacularly wreaked havoc in CPM bastions. But belying all speculations a new script was written for Siliguri.Even TMC supremo was not prepared for such a dramatic end. Nor did CPM think it would have an opportunity to give a jolt to Cong-TMC alliance.Congress bagged Mayorship with the support of Left! TMC has decided to sit in the opposition. This episode is likely to sour the relation between TMC and Congress. But only future will tell the extent of damage done!
