The Congress today officially invited all political parties in West Bengal to form an alliance against the Trinamool Congress in the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
Earlier in the day Sudip Bandyopadhyay, a Trinamool Congress leader claimed that Sonia Gandhi did not know about a possible alliance between the Congress and the CPI(M)-led Left Front in West Bengal ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
The Congress had fought the 2011 Assembly elections in West Bengal in alliance with Trinamool Congress, when the 34-year rule of Left Front came to an end.
Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee had left the UPA at the Centre in September 2012, which led to the resignation of Congress ministers from the state cabinet.
Congress vide president Rahul Gandhi had summoned the state Congress leadership to New Delhi to discuss the political situation in the state ahead of the Assembly polls, which is due in a couple of months.
