WBPCC president Somen Mitra on Sunday said the Congress will have a seat-sharing arrangement with the Left Front for the West Bengal civic polls but will not form an alliance with it.
Going by the formula, the Congress and the Left Front constituents will field their candidates from their respective strongholds, Mitra told reporters here.
Reacting to Mitra's remarks, CPI(M) legislature party leader Sujan Chakraborty told PTI in Kolkata, "We have always called for putting up a joint fight to defeat both the BJP and the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal."
