Rahul Gandhi seeks opinion from Bengal leaders on the alliance with Left against TMC, BJP
Gandhi also sought reports on party’s poll preparedness in the state.
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday held a virtual meeting with leaders of the West Bengal unit and sought their opinion on allying with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and its Left partners for the assembly elections due in about five months. Gandhi also sought reports on party’s poll preparedness in the state.
Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and senior state pioneers partook in the gathering. “Rahul Gandhi requested our assessment on a union against the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). We passed on our considerations to him. That is everything we can say at the present time,” Chowdhury told HT on Friday night.
“The issue of offering seats to the Left will be talked about at a later stage,” he added.
The Congress and the Left had challenged the gathering surveys as partners in 2016 yet couldn’t make a mark in the vote bank of the TMC. In the 2019 Lok Sabha surveys, they didn’t have a union and lost significant lumps of their vote share. While Congress figured out how to hold two Lok Sabha seats, the CPI(M) lost all.
In the course of recent years, numerous Congress and Left administrators have abandoned the TMC and the BJP.
Remarking on TMC’s heavyweight chief Suvendu Adhikari stopping the bureau on Friday, Chowdhury stated, “Regardless of whether he will join the BJP is up to him. I am glad to see boss priest Mamata Banerjee being paid in her own coins. She designed rebellions in our gathering again and again to debilitate us. History has an awful propensity for rehashing itself.”
