New Delhi, January 30: The issue of alliances in the coming Assembly polls in five states including West Bengal and Tamil Nadu is ticklish for the Congress with the regional parties in both the states playing the ‘big brother’.
Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress is virtually playing the big brother in West Bengal with the Congress which is all set to go with the DMK in Tamil Nadu.
DMK has quite an uphill task in the wake of the 2G spectrum scam, but Congress leaders say that they have no other option but be a part of the DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu.
Banerjee met the Congress President Sonia Gandhi last week but there have been no details from either side about the parleys between the two top leaders, their first interaction in the new year with West Bengal polls just a few months away.
