Two expert committees would be formed for advising KMC and adjoining Bidhnnagar (Salt Lake) Municipality, which too was wrested from the Left Front by TC.

Banerjee said the committees would comprise apolitical persons chosen from a cross section of society and different communities.

"We want to see Kolkata as an international city. It is being deprived the status of an A-1 city," she said.

On party's electoral promise to transform Kolkata into London that invited redicule from CPI(M), she said, "What we have said we shall do. Kolkata will become like London and north Bengal will rival Switzerland".

However, it would be easier to work when it would be in the government, she said hinting at her party's growing confidence.
