TMC Rebels Confirm NDA Alliance, Deny Merger with Congress

Kakoli Ghosh, one of the rebel TMC leaders, in an exclusive conversation with Aaj Tak said, "We have 20 MPs, we will be with the NDA because the mandate is to go with the NDA. Who is the real TMC will be decided by the Election Commission. We have nothing to do with what Ritabrata wants to do. We have already decided that we will be with the NDA. Kalyan Banerjee will not be with us, I have already filed a complaint against him, so the question of staying with him does not arise. Kakoli Ghosh further said," It is wrong to say that we did this after the election results. This was going on for the last 2 years. Forty years of association with Mamata is why I stayed with her. "On reports of Congress and TMC merger, TMC MP Kirti Azad said," There will be no merger contest, these are all wrong news. The alliance will be fought as an alliance. "
