New Delhi:
Mamata Banerjee s Trinamool Congress today won a landslide victory in Bengal. The Chief Minister, however, lost to BJP s Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram. I accept the verdict in Nandigram - it is not a big deal. Don t worry, she said.
Khela hobe did happen, and we did win. The BJP kept going on and on about double-engine
sarkar, while I assured you all that I will score a double century. This is Bangla s win. this is Bengal s win. this is your win. This win has saved Bengal, it has saved the culture and tradition of Bengal, said Ms Banerjee who ran a bitter, no holds barred campaign against the BJP over two months as Covid cases surged in India.

After a decade in opposition, the DMK won a convincing victory over arch-rival AIADMK in Tamil Nadu and the ruling party managed to emerge as a formidable opposition, overcoming the burden of ten-year anti-incumbency to an extent. MK Stalin, the 68-year-old DMK president, is all set to become the Chief Minister for the first time. During his party s previous tenure, he has been the Deputy Chief
Minister and Local Administration Minister as well.
As the counting of votes polled in the April 6 TN Assembly election progressed on Sunday, it became amply clear that the DMK was dislodging the AIADMK from the seat of power.
