New Delhi, Mar 19 (PTI) Taken by surprise, Congress today said it has sought more time to resolve the differences with its ally Trinamool Congress which has made a unilateral decision to announce a list of candidates for the West Bengal Assembly polls.
"This is a new situation... new development. The party central leadership will discuss the issue in detail and then take a decision," Congress Working Committee member-in charge for West Bengal Shakeel Ahmad told PTI when asked how the party will respond to its allies move.
Making no effort to hide the party's displeasure over the Trinamool Congress (TMC) move, Ahmad said, "Our discussions for seat sharing had remained inconclusive, hence it was told that we will discuss the issue again. We were seeking more time to resolve the differences on the number and nature of seats to be contented by each party.
