|May 21, 2024
Alliance offers resistance against BJP's money power & TMC's muscle power: Md Salim PM West Bengal secretary Md Salim is confident of a Left resurgence in the state and says chemistry with the Congress is working well on the ground because the tie-up has been forged at the grassroots.

In an interview with this newspaper, the former Lok Sabha MP and Murshidabad candidate says the Congress high command needs to assess the changing reality of Bengal. Excerpts: How confident are you of your and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's win from Berhampore, a constituency next to yours? The victory is already decided.
Malda and Murshidabad will throw a surprise. In fact, the Left-Congress combine will sweep south Bengal. The BJP doesn't have any connect with the masses and the Trinamool is facing huge anti-incumbency. That's why Mamata Banerjee is getting jittery and changing her stance every day-one day with INDIA bloc, and the next day with the BJP.
