Opposition Leaders Discuss Alliances and Political Shifts at Kolkata Event
At a Kolkata event unveiling a statue of former Congress leader Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi, TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh proposed a united opposition front including TMC, Congress, and Left parties to counter the BJP. The CPM reaffirmed its refusal to ally with TMC due to concerns over corruption and criminality but remains open to partnering with Congress if it avoids inducting tainted TMC members. Meanwhile, NCPI MP Prasun Banerjee hinted at a possible return to the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC amid internal party divisions. Congress leaders urged keeping the event apolitical.
