BJP-TMC understanding affected us: Mishra in West Bengal
Kolkata, May 19 (IBNS) Accepting defeat, Leader of Opposition in the outgoing West Bengal Assembly and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader Surya Kanta Mishra said one of the reasons for their loss is the understanding between the TMC and the BJP.
"There is a tacit understanding between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress which helped the latter. It is a danger we have to cope with in coming days," said Mishra.
"Defeat must not be seen as retreat. We will keep fighting," he said.
"Defeat is defeat and we have to accept it," said Mishra, who himself lost his seat in Narayangarh.
The Trinamool Congress is all set to return for a second term in West Bengal winning nearly 218 seats leaving 70 for the Left and Congress alliance.
The BJP is ahead in three seats while others are leading in three.
