TMC supporters celebrate party's victory in Kolkata Municipal Elections

"I want to dedicate this triumph to the people of the state and ‘Maa, Mati, Manush’ (mother, land and people - the slogan of TMC). Several national parties like the BJP, Congress, and CPI(M) also fought against us, but they were all defeated. This victory will show the way in national politics in days to come," West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee told reporters outside her residence.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) supporters on Tuesday celebrated the party's victory in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) elections, near West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC leader Mamata Banerjee's residence in Kolkata.

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress registered a landslide victory in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) polls by winning 134 out of 144 wards on Tuesday.

The TMC swept back to power in the state this summer by winning 213 seats in the 294-member West Bengal assembly.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finished second with three seats and the Congress and the Left won two wards each.
