Left Front mauled in Bengal, TMC-Cong lead
The Trinamool Congress bagged four seats - Bongaon, Serampore, Alipore and Rajganj - while the Congress won from its traditional stronghold, Sujapur in Malda district.
The CPI-M and Trinamool Congress are contesting in five and seven seats respectively. The others have been left for the Left Front allies and the Congress.
With the Left losing its grip over the state under the assault of the Trinamool-led opposition, the by-elections are considered a trailer to the 2011 assembly elections.
