Cong-TC alliance in a day or two: Cong

NEW DELHI: The alliance between Congress and Trinamool Congress to take on the ruling Left Front in Lok Sabha poll in West Bengal could be
announced in a day or two.

"Talks are going on...These are on the right track. I will get back to you with some announcement on the alliance in a day or two," AICC in-charge of West Bengal K Keshava Rao told reporters at the AICC headquarters here.

Rao visited the Left-ruled state recently and had talks with Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee as also with other Congress leaders.

The Congress leader described the talks as "positive". "I am confident that the alliance would work out," he said.

Asked how many seats would be acceptable to Congress and what will be the formula of seat-sharing in the state, Rao said "it would be a respectable figure" but declined to divulge what will be acceptable to the party.
