Derailed by Personal Ambition, INDIA Bloc Back on Track With Seat Sharing But Fissures Remain – News18

Is the INDIA front back on track? The successful seat sharing with Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party has given hope to the leaders of the bloc that all is somewhat well. Striking an alliance in tough states and with tough allies like the SP and AAP is no doubt an achievement. But will it deliver?Some tie-ups done, all eyes are now on the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and if Mamata Banerjee will be open to renegotiating seat sharing. Sources in TMC say “if Congress agrees to give one seat each in Assam and Meghalaya, TMC can think of giving a third seat in the state”. The two seats on which TMC has agreed for now are Malda and Berhampore. Congress has been demanding at least 7-8 seats which does not find favour with Banerjee.
