Kolkata, May 13 (IANS) Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee Friday met West Bengal Governor M.K. Narayanan to stake her claim to form the next government in the state after her party-led alliance swept the assembly polls.
Banerjee, along with senior party leaders Mukul Roy and Partha Chatterjee, reached Raj Bhawan at 6.30 p.m. Entering the Raj Bhawan, she waved to hundreds of her party supporters who were waiting outside.
The Trinamool Congress-Congress alliance has dislodged the state’s three-decade-old Left Front government in the April-May Bengal assembly polls with outgoing chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and several of cabinet colleagues being defeated.
