Big win for Trinamool in West Bengal

Our Correspondent, New Delhi
Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress yesterday prevented the BJP surge in most other parts of India from spreading to West Bengal state by bagging 34 of the 42 parliament seats.
CPI(M)-led Left Front was decimated in West Bengal winning just two seats, compared to 15 seats it had won five years ago. Congress won four seats and BJP two.
Congress leader and federal minister Deepa Dasmunshi lost from her

Raiganj constituency but her party colleague and President Pranab Mukherjee's son Abhijit won Jangipur seat in Murshidabad district.
Trinamool Congress, which had 19 seats out of 42 in the outgoing Lok Sabha, made major gains winning 15.
For Trinamool, major winners are former railway minister Dinesh Trivedi from Barrackpur and another former federal minister Saugata Roy who won from Dumdum. Both of them retained theirseats.
Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee won Diamond Harbour seat. Sugato Bose, a Harvard University professor, won from Jadavpur as aTrinamool candidate.
BJP's Babul Supriyo, a leading playback singer, won by a margin of 70,260 votes, while its vice-president S S Ahluwalia emerged triumphant in Darjeeling defeating well-known footballer Bhaichung Bhutia of Trinamool Congress.
Despite the spectacular show in West Bengal, Mamata must be disappointed as her desire to see her party emerge as the third largest one in parliament after BJP and Congress seems set to crash.
AIADMK led by Jayalalithaa in southern state of Tamil Nadu is poised to take that position with 37 seats.
In Congress-led UPA II government, Trinamool was the second largest constituent with 19 MPs before she walked out of it in July, 2012.
But with BJP having secured a comfortable majority on its own in Lok Sabha in this election, Mamata's dream of being a major player at the national level in the event of a fractured mandate lies shattered.
Mamata had even dreamt of taking her party’s reach beyond the borders ofWest Bengal and fielded candidates in a number of states like Tripura, Jharkhand, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Assam. Trinamool failed to win even a single seat there.
