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.
