‘With a tie-up, both parties can give a tough fight to Trinamool and BJP’West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee president (WBPCC) Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has been one of the most vocal advocates of an electoral alliance between the Left parties and the Congress. The Left parties here have a baggage of running the State for 34 years,” Mr. Chowdhury told The Hindu. “In the next year’s Assembly polls, the Left and Congress will give a tough fight to the Trinamool Congress. Other than organising joint political movements, the Congress and the Left have also shown good floor coordination in the West Bengal State Assembly against the ruling Trinamool Congress. It was the workers of Congress that had proved to be backbone of the Trinamool Congress, he said.
