Left Front chairperson Biman Basu on March 30 joined senior Congress leader and Kolkata Uttar Lok Sabha candidate Pradip Bhattacharya as the Congress nominee began his election campaign from Gandhi Bhawan in the city’s Beleghata area.
Mr. Basu said the Left Front and Congress are united as a third alternative against the Trinamool Congress and the BJP.
“We want similar campaigns for all the constituencies. Those against the BJP and the Trinamool should come together,” the Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader said.
