Don’t think of alliance with TMC: Cong to its Bengal leaders

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi The Congress top brass has told the party’s West Bengal unit not to think of any ties with the Trinamool Congress at this stage and instead focus only on strengthening the organisation, officials aware of the matter said. The meeting, chaired by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, along with leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, also emphasised on fighting against the BJP and against those who have “weakened the party” in the state. In such a situation, the Congress party has an important role to play and for this we are ready to represent the people of West Bengal in a planned manner. The people of West Bengal want the Congress party to play a strong role in the state, hence we will raise the voice of the people, their issues, by taking to the streets,” West Bengal Incharge Ghulam Mir told journalists after the meeting.
