Discussions for seat sharing between the Congress and the CPI(M) in West Bengal for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls are expected to start soon, sources in the two parties said on Monday.
They said the parties have already been holding informal parleys, but formal talks are likely to begin after the February 3 rally.
According to State Congress sources, the party is keen on fighting at least 18-20 seats, including Raiganj and Murshidabad, which are the only two seats that the CPI(M) won in the last elections in the State. These two seats are presently the bone of contention between the two parties, sources said.
