Both Congress leaders claimed they had gone to meet Chatterjee to talk about the possibility of a “Congress-TMC alliance in West Bengal to defeat the BJP”. “We have come here to talk about a grand alliance. We want to have an alliance with the TMC to defeat the BJP,” Choudhury told reporters after his visit. Haque echoed his views.
