Kolkata, May 02: Ruling out any seat adjustment with the Congress in the coming civic polls in West Bengal, Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee today announced candidates for all 141 seats in the KMC elections, saying in war, there can be no friendly fight.
“Those who are giving oxygen to the CPI(M) here, we will not leave an inch to them,” Banerjee told a news conference releasing the list of candidates for Kolkata Municipal Corporation polls, to be held on May 30 along with 81 other municipal bodies in the state.
Squarely blaming the Congress, its UPA ally, for the collapse of the alliance for the civic polls, she said, “Despite their refusal to leave a single seat to us in Murshidabad (a Congress stronghold), we gave them 25 here.
