West Bengal: TMC calls for going alone in Assembly polls

KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress general secretary and the party’s Lok Sabha member Abhishek Banerjee on Thursday, 13 February, justified West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s recent announcement of the party contesting alone in the crucial Bengal Assembly elections in 2026 without having any understanding with any other party, including the Congress.

Speaking to media persons on Thursday, Abhishek Banerjee said that the most important thing in an election is public support, whether any party is contesting alone or in alliance with others.

“If public support is there, victory is bound to come irrespective of whether a party is contesting alone or in an alliance. The best example on this count is West Bengal. Here we have won after contesting alone,” he said.
