The Congress on Tuesday agreed to allot seven seats in south Bengal to Abbas Siddiqui’s Indian Secular Front, but reiterated that it would field candidates in not less than 92 Assembly segments.
The consensus over the seven seats was reached at a meeting attended by the leaders of the CPM, Congress and the ISF at the CPM state headquarters in Alimuddin Street on Tuesday.
“We have finalised a deal with the ISF on seven seats in south Bengal,” Congress leader and MP Pradip Bhattacharya told The Telegraph.
“We have made progress in our discussions,” Bhattacharya said adding that the entire picture would be clear in a few days.
