WB Cong leaders urge party high command to take call on seat sharing with Left Front
Miffed with the CPI(M) for announcing its candidates for 25 seats, the West Bengal Congress leadership Saturday unanimously asked the party high command to take a call on the issue of seat sharing with the Left Front.
A section of the Congress leadership felt insulted after the CPI(M)-led Left Front Thursday released its list of 25 candidates for the Lok Sabha polls in Bengal, party sources said.
"We have unanimously decided to leave it on the party high command to take a call on whether we should move forward with the seat sharing deal or fight alone in the state. A section of out-of-state leaders are not happy with the attitude of the CPI(M)," state Congress president Somen Mitra said.
He has written a letter to AICC president Rahul Gandhi about the situation that has evolved in the last few days.
