July 16, 2013 22:05

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said it had not been a correct decision to align with Congress in the 2011 assembly elections and accused the Congress of holding out the threat of CBI "whenever there is a protest against the UPA government".

"It was not a correct decision to ally with Congress in the assembly election. There is always good result in fighting alone. If the Trinamool Congress had contested alone, it could have done better and got 293 out of 294 seats," Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress supremo told a panchayat election rally in Amtala in South 24 Parganas district.
