West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Friday said that the Congress party was not going to beg for seats from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the forthcoming General Election.
Mr. Chowdhury, who represents the Behrampore Lok Sabha seat in Murshidabad, also made it clear that he was going to contest from the seat in the Lok Sabha elections.
“The Trinamool needs support of Congress party more than the Congress needs them. They [the TMC] thinks that they will give us two seats [in West Bengal] and will bargain [with] us [for] seats in north east and Goa,” Mr. Chowdhury told journalists.
