Adhir challenges TMC to win Oppn-ruled civic bodies in bypolls

Lashing out at the ruling TMC for taking over opposition-ruled municipalities and engineering switch over of MLAs, WBPCC president Adhir Chowdhury today challenged the Trinamool Congress to win over these municipalities and Assembly seats in by-elections.
"Many people are saying that MLAs and councillors are leaving Congress. TMC is taking over opposition-ruled municipalities one after another. I challenge them. If they have guts, they should win these municipalities in by-elections," Chowdhury said while addressing the launch of 'Congress Barta'.
Plagued by defections and infighting, the beleaguered Congress and CPI(M) are finding it difficult to keep their flock together in the face of Trinamool Congress juggernaut in West Bengal.

The Congress today launched its fortnightly party mouthpiece 'Congress Barta' with an aim to reach out to party workers, in order to have an exchange of views and opinions between party workers and leadership.
"If any of our party worker has anything to say against the party leadership, then he can write in this paper," Chowdhury, also the editor of the Congress mouthpiece, said.
