Kolkata, July 2: After
last month's panchayat poll, the CPI-M in West Bengal suffered yet
another setback on Wednesday losing three of 13 municipalities to
Trinamool Congress and another to Congress in the civic elections.

The Front, which controlled nine earlier, managed to
retain only five - Panihati, Burdwan, Chakdah (CPI-M), Balurghat (RSP)
and Mekhligunj (FB).

The CPI-M lost Guskara, Habra, Midnapore to TC and Dalkhola to Congress.

The most impressive win by the Trinamool Congress
was in Guskara in Burdwan district regarded as the CPI-M's stronghold
where it secured eight of the 15 seats. BJP bagged two and the Front
won five.
