Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren congratulated his counterparts Mamata Banerjee and Pinarayi Vijayan, as well as DMK leader M K Stalin for their parties' victories in assembly polls in their respective states on Sunday.
Banerjee rode the BJP challenge to take her Trinamool Congress to triumph for a third consecutive term in West Bengal, while the BJP was set to return in Assam and the LDF in Kerala, signature victories for ruling parties which decisively beat the anti-incumbency syndrome.
However, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry voted against the incumbents - AIADMK prepared to cede space to the opposition DMK-led alliance in the former and the AINRC-led NDA headed toward power in the latter.
