Riding the winds of political change, Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress on Wednesday won the 141-ward city municipal corporation polls, inflicting a crushing blow to the ruling Left Front in the civic elections, dubbed as a semi-final before next year's Assembly polls.
In Sunday's election to a total of 81 civic bodies across 16 districts in West Bengal, TC also tasted success in the districts where it alone bagged 20 of 43 municipalities, the results for which were available till noon.
The party bagged another eight civic bodies where it had local-level seat adjustment with the Congress.
The Left Front registered wins in 12 municipalities while Congress lagged behind winning only in three.
The Trinamool Congress, which had already won two-thirds majority in the 141-member KMC, will not need the support of the Congress to rule Kolkata where her party has already captured 94 of the 135 wards the results of which were available.
