The ruling party in Bengal swept the Cooperative Society election under Ramanimohan Maiti Gram Panchayat in Mahishadal block. There were around 1300 voters and as many as 122 candidates contested elections. The election was held in 61 seats out of which Trinamool Congress secured 36 seats and the Opposition won 25 seats.
