As the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) lost the Sagardighi bypolls in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said the results unearthed the "unholy alliance" of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress and CPI(M) adding that TMC can alone fight the three forces.
Congress candidate Bayron Biswas won the Sagardighi bypolls by a margin of 22,986. In her reply to ANI over the setback in Sagardighi Assembly bye-election, the Trinamool supremo said there was an "unholy" alliance.
She said, "We have lost the Sagardighi bypolls, but I do not blame anyone for the defeat. In democratic elections, there can be some minus and plus. However, there is an 'unholy alliance' between the Congress, Left and BJP, which we strongly condemn."
Banerjee said BJP vote share was shifted to the Congress and Left in the combine. West Bengal CM said Congress and Left parties should not call themselves antiBJP claiming that Congress and CPI(M) took BJP's help to defeat TMC.
