TMC sources gave this information on Thursday. The alliance committee of Congress is holding state-wise talks with its allies of ‘Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance’ (INDIA) regarding seat sharing. Sources associated with TMC said that Congress had approached party leaders for such a meeting, but They were told that they were not willing to send any representative for talks.
According to sources, Trinamool Congress has offered Congress the two seats it won in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. There are 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal. Congress says that two seats are very less and it is difficult to accept. Sources in Trinamool Congress say that only Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee can make any changes in this proposal. Party sources said that TMC is considering contesting on one seat in Meghalaya and at least two seats in Assam.
He said the local TMC unit aspired to contest from a seat in Goa, where it had got around five per cent of the votes in the 2022 assembly elections, but it would not press for it and would support the Congress in the coastal state. In the context of West Bengal, a senior party leader said that TMC’s offer is based on Congress’s vote share in the last assembly and Lok Sabha elections. In at least 39 out of 42 seats in West Bengal, Congress had got less than five percent of the votes in the past.
In West Bengal, Congress had secured 2.93 percent votes in the 2021 assembly elections, 12.25 percent votes in the 2016 assembly elections and 5.67 percent votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
