Setback for INDIA seat-sharing hopes in Bengal, Trinamool won’t meet Congress panel for talks
The possibility of a seat-sharing pact between the Congress and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal receded further on Thursday with the TMC signalling it would not meet the five-member national alliance committee of the Congress that has been holding talks with parties of the INDIA alliance to work out seat adjustments in states. Sources in the TMC said the party had already conveyed its offer to the Congress.
