TMC helping hand for Left

Behrampore, 31 Aug: The Trinamul Congress today helped the Left Front in the formation of the panchayat samiti board at Hariharpara in Murshidabad district, in an unusual move in this politically polarised state.
The Congress and LF had won 13 seats each while the TMC won four out of a total of 30 seats in the panchayat samiti in the rural polls. With the support of the TMC members, the LF today formed the PS board.
"CPI(M)-Trinamul bhai-bhai (Trinamul, CPI-M are brothers)", declared the Murshidabad Congress leadership. A TMC leader said: “We maintain a policy of equi-distance from the LF and Congress. Hariharpara was an exception because in Hariharpara constituency Congress fielded an Independent to defeat our candidate in the last Assembly poll.” sns
