Real intention gone: Congress condemns Mamata Banerjee over seat-sharing in Bengal

To recall, Banerjee had hinted last month that she wanted the Trinamool Congress to contest the Lok Sabha elections alone. She had told party workers that only TMC can teach the BJP a lesson in the state.

State President Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said Mamata Banerjee’s real intention is known has become after the Bengal Prime Minister announced that TMC will give two seats to the grand old party.

“Mamata Banerjee’s real intention is known. They say they (TMC) will give two seats (to Congress) in West Bengal. Those seats already have Congress MPs. What news do they give us? We won these two seats by defeating Mamata Banerjee and the BJP. What favor are they doing us? Who will trust her (Mamata Banerjee)?,” Adhir said.

“It is Mamata who needs Congress to win… Congress can fight and is capable of winning more seats on its own. We will show it. We don’t have to keep these two seats on Mamata’s pity,” he added
