Based on the 2021 assembly poll results in the state, in which the Congress in alliance with the CPI(M)-led Left Front had fared badly, the Trinamool Congress top leadership offered the grand old party two seats, out of the 42 Lok Sabha constituencies in West Bengal, in the coming general elections, TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said.
“The Congress state unit cannot do unjustified bargaining on the matter,” Ghosh said.
Meanwhile, All India Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba said in Siliguri the party’s leadership has been holding parleys with constituents of the INDIA bloc in different states, including in West Bengal, for seat sharing for the Lok Sabha elections.
She said the process will be concluded soon.
