Kolkata. TMC Rajya Sabha member Sushmita Dev has said that the party leadership did not compromise with Congress in Bengal keeping in mind the interest of INDIAN. Trinamool is contesting alone on 42 seats in the state so that the chances of BJP's victory can be reduced. If 15 seats were left for Congress in Bengal, it would have suffered losses on almost all of them. This would have increased the chances of BJP's victory. The alliance wants more seats from Bengal and this would have been possible only if Mamata contested on more seats.
The TMC MP said that the Congress has always supported the alliance with Trinamool in the state. Even after the seat agreement broke down, the top leadership of the Congress did not attack Trinamool. Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge have kept distance from the state in the elections only because they do not want to attack Trinamool.
The main enemy of Congress is BJP, not Trinamool- Dev
Dev said that the top leadership of Congress is well aware that this is not the vote of the state. The main enemy of Congress is BJP, not Trinamool. Trinamool's cooperation in ousting BJP from power at the Centre cannot be denied. However, Trinamool has repeatedly clarified that even though it has no agreement with Congress in the state, the party is and will remain a part of INDIA.
