TMC Suffers Debacle in North Bengal, Fails to Win a Single Seat

This time: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in the election campaign that the TMC would not be able to open its account in a few districts. That prediction came true. Mamata Banerjee's party did not win any seat in four districts of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri in North Bengal. Jalpaiguri: TMC leader Mamata Banerjee started her campaign in North Bengal from Jalpaiguri district in the assembly elections like the Lok Sabha. She also took out a march on New Year's Day. But that did not stop the TMC's debacle. Although the TMC won four out of seven seats in the district in the last assembly elections, this time the couple had to return empty-handed. Jalpaiguri district, which stretches from the Bangladesh border to the Bhutan border, is inhabited by the Adivasi, Rajbongshi, Nepali, Santali, and Mech communities. This is the family that could not show any hope to the people of mixed culture, says BJP state general secretary Bapi Goswami.
