Both CPI (M)
and Congress state level leaders have expressed their willingness for alliance
in the forthcoming West Bengal assembly elections 2016. Rahul Gandhi is also in
favour of the alliance still there is no official stamp from either party on
the alliance. Election Commission of India will announce the election schedule
for the state very soon. The question is – what is the future of the alliance?
On 28
February, Trinamool Congress MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay conveyed an interesting
news about the alliance. Sudip Bandyopadhyay said "While returning from
New Dehli, I suddenly met Soniaji (Gandhi) and asked her about a probable
alliance...She instead asked me whether any such alliance was happening. She
told me that no such news has reached her so far," the TMC leader told
reporters on the sidelines of a function here. "It is apparent that such
an alliance is not taking place. There is some campaign regarding seat adjustment
at the state- level between the two parties, but as per my knowledge there is
no alliance."
West Bengal
Pradesh Congress Committee president Adhir Chowdhury, Pradip Bhattacharya,
Deepa Dasmunshi, Mausam Benazir Noor, Abhijit Mukherjee and many other senior
Congress leaders want the alliance.
Senior CPI(M)
leaders including former chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and party state
secretary Surjya Kanta Mishra have openly spoken in favour of an alliance with
the Congress.
