Archrivals TMC and BJP ally to win a co-operative election unopposed in Bengal's Nandigram
"It is a decision taken by local people. Elections cost money. It would have taken Rs 2 lakh for arrangements for the elections of the co-operative. So, good-thinking people on both sides held a meeting and decided on a seat adjustment," local TMC leader Arup Gol said as quoted by The Indian Express.
Sudip Das, BJP's leader from Tamluk, told the daily, "There is no political colour in co-operative elections. Local people have decided to make a seat adjustment. This will not reflect in other places or in the state or centre."
