NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge spoke to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday, in a frantic effort to salvage the situation a day after she announced the Trinamool Congress (TMC) would go alone in the Lok Sabha polls.

Top political functionaries added that the two leaders spoke on both the seat-sharing impasse and Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra that has entered Bengal.

"Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge has spoken with Mamata Banerjee today. We will find a way forward," the Congress's communications chief Jairam Ramesh told reporters.

He lauded Banerjee as the tallest political leader in Bengal and said that Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul will be happy if she joins the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Bengal even if it's for few minutes.
