KOLKATA, 1 MAY:
The stalemate over seat-sharing for the forthcoming civic polls between alliance partners -- the Trinamool Congress and the Congress -- is unresolved on Saturday as senior Congress leader and acting state Congress president Pradip Bhattacharya announced 88 candidates for Kolkata Municipal Corporation election.
Congress however did not announce the names of the candidates for 53 wards for forthcoming KMC election and left an option open for further discussion over seat-sharing.
Nirbed Roy, a senior Congress leader said that they tried their level best to thrash out their differences on the matter, but failed to reach an understanding on the issue to ensure the defeat of the Left Front in the elections.
Another Congress leader said former mayor and senior Congress leader Subrata Mukherjee will not contest the election.
