The Trinamool Congress also cleared one of its biggest popularity tests when it swept South 24 Paraganas district's Diamond Harbour municipality, which is part of Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee's Diamond Harbour parliamentary seat. The Trinamool Congress won all 16 wards here.

The 2022 municipal poll verdict has put an end to the 'one man, one post' clamour which was heard within the TMC earlier this month. Abhishek, the TMC's national general secretary, was at the centre of the controversy 

Diamond Harbour was separated from the panchayat three-tier system in 1982 when it was converted into a municipality. Left Front nominees Asit Basu and Mrinal Dutta were elected chairman and vice-chairman respectively in the first election. 

Among the key issues in this election was cleanliness. Garbage is often dumped on the roads. Canals and ponds are also dirty. Garbage can often be seen lying on the banks of the river. Hopefully, the new municipality administrators would pay a little attention.
