Mamta Banerjee's magic in West Bengal remains intact. In recent seven municipal elections, her party Trinamool Congress has won all.

In the election results issued on Thursday (August 17th), TMC secured clean swap in the largest municipality Durgapur along with Haldia and Coopers camp Notified Area. In these three municipalities, the opposition party BJP could not even record its presence.

Even after quite a lot of opposition, the opposition BJP got four out of 16 seats in the Dhupguri municipality. Apart from this, BJP had to satisfy only one seat in Panskura and Buniyadpur municipalities.

On the other hand, CPM-led Left Front has won the Nalhati municipality, whereas the Congress has failed to win a single seat.

Of the total 148 seats in all seven municipalities, the Trinamool Congress has won on 140 seats and BJP has won on 6 while the Left Front and the Independent candidates have won one seat each.

TMC general secretary Partha Chatterjee said, "The opposition did not play any positive and creative role in the state. They used to only condemn Mamta Goverment and the political attack on the ruling party through negative politics. They kept inciting people against the government, but the result was in front of everyone. Our party has won all the municipalities because we talk of development and develop everywhere."

In the Durgapur municipal elections, TMC has won in 43 wards. In the election-in-charge here and Mamta government, Sports Minister Arup Biswas told the Indian Express that CM Mamta Banerjee has announced to make it a separate district to speed up development in West Burdwan. The people here have expressed faith in the Chief Minister.

They said that they express gratitude to the people there for this victory. The minister said that people have rejected BJP's negative politics and rioting efforts and have crushed the efforts of people brought from Bihar and Jharkhand to the hired.
