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.
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.
The AICC general secretary made a fresh appeal to the Youth Congress to step up the membership drive in order to strengthen the parent organisation.
Giving anxious moments to SPG personnel, Gandhi stopped his car to receive bouquets from villagers who broke barricades to greet him during his short tour of the town on the Indo-Bangladesh border.
On his way to nearby Rabindra Bhavan in the district to address Youth Congress workers, hundreds of villagers lined up along the barricades to greet him as Gandhi got down from the helicopter and shook hands with them.
SPG personnel rushed in to clear the road as some over-enthusiastic villagers broke the fencing and spilled on
to the road, forcing his convoy to stop briefly.
