Basirhat (WB), September 14: Without naming Trinamool Congress, Rahul Gandhi today said Congress will not go for any alliance without dignity in the coming Assembly polls in West Bengal, but was hopeful of a proposed tie-up.
“There will not be any unrespectable alliance and I hope we will be able to make the alliance, as proposed, happen in West Bengal before the coming Assembly election,” Gandhi told a closed-door meeting of the North 24-Parganas district Youth Congress.
District Congress Committee President Asit Majumder, who was present at the meeting, told PTI that Gandhi stressed the need for such an alliance to defeat the CPI(M) in the coming elections.
“We will have to take on the CPI(M) in the polls and defeat the misrule of the party. I have been saying this in almost all meetings,” Majumdar quoted Gandhi as saying.
