CM was interacting with media during his visit to Bhattapukur area when he was asked to leave a remark about CPI-M and Congress’s alliance for the 2023 Poll. Reacting to the question, Saha told media that CPI-M and Congress leaders are now out of their mind and after a major defeat in West Bengal with Congress, CPI-M alliance, CPI-M is yet to take a lesson. The statement came after CPI-M and Congress had released a joint statement on Wednesday appealing people to come forward against the dictator, peaceless regime of the BJP.

“This is nothing new. CPI-M and Congress’s secret friendship has always been in whisper and now it’s more clear. Anyway, this will not help them and people will not at all accept this alliance. They (CPI-M) are already over in ADC. Then in local body, by-poll----- they are defeated in all spheres. Now this alliance has helped BJP further to get more votes. Just wait and see how BJP wins the upcoming poll”, Manik Saha told journalists in Agartala.
