Congress for getting more seats in Bengal alliance
The Hindu
The Congress is for getting more share of seats in the alliance in the coming West Bengal Assembly polls. For this, it has quoted the changed political equations on the ground and the shrinking presence of the Left parties that became sharply evident during the Lok Sabha polls when they failed to win a single seat in the State.
In the 2016 Assembly elections, the Congress fought in 92 seats and won in 44.
