Seat-sharing discussions between Congress and Trinamool Congress for West Bengal's upcoming Lok Sabha elections have stalled, making an alliance improbable. Trinamool remains firm on offering only two seats to Congress and seeks seats in Assam and Meghalaya. Sources suggest a growing possibility of a Congress-Left alliance, with a 75% chance compared to a 25% chance for Congress-TMC. Despite talks resuming after a breakdown, Congress aims for a respectable seat count, while its state chief's criticism of Trinamool leadership complicates negotiations. The focus shifts towards a potential Congress-Left collaboration.
