Congress today stunned the Trinamul Congress by snatching the reining seat of the Siliguri Municipal Corporation with the help of the communist party, finally sending a stern message to Mamata Banerjee that the party would no longer blindly accept terms set by her. Sonia Gandhi and Pranab Mukherjee go after Mamata Bannerjee - they use communists to teach Mamata a lesson,

Both the posts of mayor and chairperson in the civic body were bagged today by the Congress which had fought the popular election in alliance with Trinamul and ended the 28-year reign of the Left in its north Bengal redoubt. Gangotri Dutta and Sabita Devi Agarwal of the Congress were elected mayor and chairperson, respectively, after the party’s district president wrote a letter to local Left boss and minister Asok Bhattacharya.
