FB refutes charges of creating hurdles in Cong-Left alliance

Forward Bloc today refuted state Congress president Adhir Chowdhury's allegation that the Left allies were creating hurdles in the alliance between them.
Forward Bloc general secretary Debabroto Biswas said had the Left allies not cooperated with the CPI(M), the Left Front-Congress alliance would never have been a reality.
"The Left-Congress alliance was the need of the hour as the people wanted it. That is why we have forged an alliance. If someone is saying that the Left allies are trying to throw a spanner, then it is wrong," he said.
"Had the Left allies not supported, the alliance between Congress and Left would never have seen the light of the day," he said.

Lauding the "positive" role of CPI(M) in forging the alliance, Bengal Congress president Adhir Chowdhury had a few days back slammed the Left allies for creating hurdles in the path of alliance.
