May 13 has again brought a bit of luck to the Congress when it got governments in two states and its ally Trinamool Congress swept to power in West Bengal.

It was May 13, 2004 that had proved to be a turning point for the Congress under Sonia Gandhi when the UPA under her leadership had come to power for the first time by ousting the BJP-led NDA from power.
