Buoyed with its success in the municipal election in West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress today said the poll results have demonstrated that the party has enough strength to rule the state alone. 

 

"It has been proved by the results of these elections that the Trinamool Congress has enough strength to rule Bengal alone," the party all-India general secretary Mukul Roy told a press conference after winning four of the six municipal bodies which went to polls on June 3. Though allies in the central and state governments, Trinamool and Congress contested the civic elections separately. 

 

"It has been established that in Bengal, Trinamool can fight and win elections alone. We fought against CPI  (M),Congress, BJP and the Maoists," Roy, who is also the Railway Minister, said. "The results have shown that not only CPI(M), but there are some other parties which are going to be insignificant in Bengal politics," Roy said.
