PM calls up Mamata, Gogoi

 Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on a visit to Afghanistan, today called up Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee and Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi to congratulate them on their poll triumphs.

Banerjee's Trinamool Congress ended the 34-year reign of the Left Front in West Bengal, while the Congress led by Gogoi in Assam looked set for a record third term as the results of the state assembly polls poured in.

Addressing her supporters in Kolkata, Banerjee said, "The Prime Minister has talked to me over phone. He has congratulated us. He is overwhelmed with our triumph."
