Celebrations in front of Mamata's residence

As the Trinamool Congress-Congress combine is on way to scripting a sensational victory in the Lok Sabha election in West Bengal going by the alliance's winning trends, her supporters erupted into celebrations.       

Sweets were distributed among party supporters at Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee's residence at Kalighat in south Kolkata where hundreds of activists assembled braving heavy rain.       

As per the latest trends till midday, Trinamool Congress candidates are surging ahead in at least 17 constituencies.       

Hundreds of party supporters also brought out processions in the city's Bhowanipore area and smeared each other's face with gulal. A 20-foot cutout of Mamata Banerjee was put on a matador which went round the area.      

Trinamool's electoral ally Congress on the other hand took out a colourful procession carrying large portraits of Gandhiji, Manmohan Singh, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.      

Some of the revellers were seen stuffing sweets into the mouths of the portraits of Sonia and Rahul.      

The CPI-M office on Alimuddin street in contrast was quite.
