BJP on the other hand is a communal party.” Asked about the alternative front floated by the Left and whether it would seek the support of the Congress to form the government, he said, “We want an alternative front to come to power by defeating both Congress and BJP.”
On whether Trinamool Congress would have any place in the alternative front as it too was opposed to Congress and BJP, Bhattacharjee said, “No, not at all. They are with the BJP let them be there only.”
He said the Trinamool Congress supremo had never acknowledged that aligning with BJP in the past was a mistake. “Neither is she saying that she will not go with BJP in future.”
