TMC can fight BJP alone, doesn't need Congress: Saugata Roy

"Why would we merge with Congress party, they are too small in West Bengal," said Vice-President of West Bengal All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) Saugata Roy on January 19.

"Adhir Ranjan's party is too small in West Bengal.

They won only 2 seats here in Lok Sabha elections, why would we merge with them?

They (Congress) should fight BJP on their own.

There is no question of joining hands with Congress.

TMC can fight BJP alone," said Roy.
