"After the general elections, if the Congress does its job and defeats the BJP on a substantial number of seats, the Trinamool Congress will very much be a part of the front that believes and fights for the Constitution," Mr O'Brien told reporters.
Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien today held West Bengal Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury solely responsible for an alliance not working out between the two parties in West Bengal.
The remark came a day after West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee announced that her party will fight the Lok Sabha polls "alone" in the state.
Claiming that Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury was "the reason" the alliance did not work out in West Bengal, Mr O'Brien said the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) had many detractors but only two - the BJP and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury - have repeatedly spoken out against the bloc.
