Kolkata, September 14: With West Bengal bracing for political change, AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi today said he favoured an alliance with the Trinamool Congress in the coming Assembly polls in the state, but not without dignity.
“Congress has a partnership with Trinamool Congress.
We have to walk together. If there is partnership it should be with dignity (meri soch yehi hai, agar partnership ho, to usme izzat bhi ho),” Gandhi told a minority convention organised by the party at Garden Reach area near here.
Gandhi, who is on a three-day tour to West Bengal for rejuvenating the Congress ahead of the assembly elections in the state scheduled next year, said a political change was imminent in the state.
“The Left Front will not win the coming assembly elections. Their shop is going to close. You will bring the change,” he said.
