But he took care to underscore that there would be "no alliance" with Trinamul to fight the BJP in Bengal. The CPM's slogan, Yechury added, was " BJP hatao desh bachao and Trinamul hatao Bangla bachao". "In the context of Bengal politics, Trinamul and the BJP are two sides of the same coin.

Yechury said national politics could not be equated with regional political equations.
