The Indian National Congress has decided to contest all 294 seats independently in the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, ending its decade-long alliance with the Left Front. This decision, made at a high-level meeting in New Delhi attended by senior leaders including Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, aims to rebuild the party's grassroots support after poor past performances. The Congress rejected a limited seat offer from the Trinamool Congress and seeks to present itself as a distinct alternative amid a four-cornered contest involving TMC, BJP, Left, and Congress.
