TMC gamble in going solo in West Bengal

Hindustan Times  

The INDIA bloc seems dead and buried in West Bengal with the Trinamool Congress declaring candidates for all 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state. At the outset, chief minister and TMC leader Mamata Banerjee has taken a big gamble to go alone in the general elections, where her party’s primary opponent is the BJP. The Congress high command was invested in seat sharing among INDIA partners, but its local chief, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, saw the TMC only as a rival. The TMC, which had emerged from the Congress, saw its parent party as a rival for minority votes and even grudged the latter’s limited clout in north Bengal.
