Big changes are being seen in the politics of West Bengal every day. The way Mamata Banerjee's candidate withdrew her name in the Nandigram by-election and then announced her support to the Congress candidate. This reflects the closeness of Mamata and Congress to some extent. In view of this, a big statement has come from senior TMC leader and MP Kalyan Banerjee on the alliance.
On the question of alliance with Congress in Hooghly, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee said on Sunday (September 20) that the India alliance is working. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi is in touch with Mamata Banerjee and Nandigram seat has also been left for Congress. After withdrawal of nomination of TMC candidate in Nandigram, Mamata Banerjee has announced support to the Congress candidate.
Congress candidate Milan Pradhan has been arrested by the police and sent to jail till October 3. FIRs have been registered against him in cases related to illegal weapons possession and murder. A case has also been registered against him on many other serious charges. Let us tell you that due to going to jail, Milan will not be able to campaign because October 4 is the last day of election campaign and voting will take place on October 6.
On the other hand, while targeting Adhir Ranjan, Kalyan Banerjee said that the problem of coordination with Congress in West Bengal is mainly because of Adhir Ranjan Choudhary. He alleged that Adhir Ranjan Choudhary is only against Mamata Banerjee, but not against BJP or CPM. Taking the name of Congress leader Abdul Mannan, he also said that such leaders are creating problems in the alliance. Kalyan Banerjee further said that now West Bengal Congress has to take a decision in this matter.
