| Two years ago, at the age of 43, Mamata Banerjee, right, split from the Congress party to form a splinter group, the Trinamool Congress. |
|
| Over 1,200 persons including nine Trinamool Congress MLAs, were arrested in connection with the 12-hour Bangla bandh today. |
|
| Mamata claimed at the press conference that the hours lost due to regular bandhs had declined since her party Trinamool Congress came to power. |
|
| In the West Bengal Legislative Assembly election, 2011, Left Front was defeated by the Trinamool Congress. |
|
| Uddhav asked the West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to stop just threatening the UPA government and withdraw its support. |
|
| Some UPA ministers are of the view that the SP is a proreform party and that the government may not be able to push key reform agenda with the Trinamool holding a gun to it. |
|
| The Trinamool Congress MLA's comments drew some serious flak from several quarters with the West Bengal Congress calling the comments unacceptable. |
