Congress to back Trinamool in a hung KMC


“Just because there was no alliance before the polls does not necessarily mean we will not support a political party to wrest the KMC from the CPM in case of a hung House,” state Congress working president Pradip Bhattacharjee said at a press conference held at party headquarters Bidhan Bhawan. He claimed the Congress would increase its 2005 tally in the KMC polls for which would be held on May 30. The seat-sharing talks between allies Congress and the Trinamool had broken down after the former demanded 50 seats in the KMC, which Mamata Banerjee’s party refused.

IMO: So the TMC-Congress alliance in WB may up to a point continue.  Didi has metamorphosed from a street-fighter to a credible political alternative to the Left monolith. And a very worthwhile alternative. For example, just like CPI(Marxist) has a chronic reputation of cheating and lieing to large minorities like the Muslims, yet again CPI(Marxist) are doing it !  As Didi points out, Buddhadeb Bhattacherjee's claim that his government would complete identification of one crore Muslims for reservation in government jobs by June was an attempt to "cheat" them. After so many years in power, his claim is at best unlikely. The CPI's monkey Buddhadeb Bhattacherjee evidently has run out of new tunes for the CPI's organ.  And not only does Didi support minorities, but also intellectuals as in the important current railways exhibition of the work of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, much praised by all.
