Didi, jio Didi: Akhilesh Yadav lauds Mamata Banerjee on TMC's huge lead in Bengal polls

Kolkata/IBNS: Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav came out with all praises for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee whose Trinamool Congress (TMC) has taken a huge lead over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the results of assembly elections are coming out on Sunday.

In a tweet, Akhilesh, who had supported the TMC in the polls, said people gave a befitting reply to BJP men who had "insulted" Mamata by saying, "Didi, O Didi."

"Heartiest congratulations to the conscious public, the combative Ms. Mamata Banerjee ji and the dedicated leaders and activists of TMC, who defeated the politics of hate of BJP in Bengal! This is a befitting reply given by the public to the insulting sarcasm 'Didi O Didi' by men from the BJP. # Didi_Geo_Didi," he tweeted.

As per the latest trends, the TMC is leading in more than 200 seats while the BJP is lagging behind at 80 odd seats.

After initial trials, Mamata is now leading in her battle against her former lieutenant and BJP candidate, Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram.
