Kaliachak (WB): Asserting that the Trinamool Congress is contesting the Lok Sabha elections alone in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday alleged that the Congress and CPI(M) are helping the BJP in the state.
Addressing an election rally here at Malda Dakshin Lok Sabha seat, Banerjee claimed that the TMC will put up a spirited fight against the Narendra Modi-led dispensation at the Centre and will play a major role in installing an INDIA bloc government after the Lok Sabha polls.
“We don’t have any alliance in Bengal with Congress. Here the CPI(M) is having an alliance with Congress. Both are hand-in gloves with BJP and if you (voters) cast vote for Congress or CPI(M) that tantamounts to cutting the anti-BJP vote share and helping Narendra Modi. Congress and CPI(M) are the two eyes of BJP in this state,” she said. Banerjee claimed that the TMC had wanted to discuss seat sharing with Congress with the condition that they should not have any deal with CPI(M) in Bengal but they didn’t listen.
