Though the Congress and the Left Front fought this year’s Assembly polls in alliance, neither managed to send a single legislator to the House.
The Congress has left it to its district units to decide if they want to fight the upcoming municipal elections in alliance with the Left Front. The party’s West Bengal chief and Lok Sabha MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury held a meeting with the district leaderships of Kolkata and Howrah on Saturday to deliberate on the civic polls.
Though the Congress and the Left Front fought this year’s Assembly polls in alliance, neither managed to send a single legislator to the House.
During the deliberations, Chowdhury had to face the heat for the high command’s silence on Trinamool’s alleged attempts to weaken the party in Bengal and other states. He was asked why the top brass hadn’t spoken out on the Trinamool weaning away its leaders in Bengal and elsewhere to bleed it dry ahead of the next general elections.
