WB: Congress, Left rule out floor coordination with BJP

The Congress-Left combine today rejected the BJP's proposal for floor coordination between opposition parties in the West Bengal Assembly, alleging the saffron party had a "tacit understanding" with ruling TMC.
"The Left-Congress alliance has been formed after both the parties together fought for long on various issues for the last four years. But we have never seen BJP hitting the streets on issues concerning the masses," Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Abdul Mannan said.
BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya had yesterday said that his party could offer issue-based support to other opposition parties in the Assembly, days after similar view by the party's state unit chief Dilip Ghosh was rejected by Congress and CPI-M.

Ghosh had on Monday said the BJP was ready to work with other opposition parties in the House in the interest of people.
"Tacit understanding and opposition cannot go hand in hand. We all know about the tacit understanding between BJP and TMC. So these talks of opposing TMC in Assembly is nothing but a farce to fool the masses," CPI(M) MLA Sujan Chakraborty said.
