Regarding Bihar assembly elections, National General Secretary of CPI (ML), an important party associated with the leftist camp, Dipankar Bhattacharya has given a big statement on seat sharing and unity of the alliance. He admitted that this time the alliance is bigger than before, due to which delay in seat coordination and some disagreements were natural.
Dipankar Bhattacharya said that this time there was a desire to include Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) in the alliance. Due to this, all the parties had to sacrifice some of their seats. He told that due to this process there was some delay in ticket distribution and complete unity could not be achieved immediately on some seats.
There should be complete unity in every assembly constituency
Dipankar Bhattacharya also clarified that it has been decided by the alliance that there will be no ‘friendly fight’ on any seat. He said that we have made it clear that there should be complete unity in every assembly constituency. Wherever there is some confusion, that too will be resolved by the last date of withdrawal of nominations.

Left parties performed their responsibilities with full honesty
The CPI(ML) leader claimed that the Left parties have played their part honestly and have given top priority to strengthening the alliance. He said that our aim is not to win or lose on any one seat, but to stop the fascist forces in entire Bihar and strengthen the voice of the people.
Dipankar Bhattacharya also said that even though seat distribution may have taken time, the unity of the India alliance will be even stronger at the time of elections. He expressed hope that by the time the process of withdrawal of nominations is completed, the alliance’s common candidate on every seat will become clear and opposition unity will emerge in a stronger form than before.
Our goal is not power, but change – Bhattacharya
Dipankar Bhattacharya finally said that our goal is not power but change. The expectations of the people in Bihar are high and we will unite and try to live up to them.
Political analysts believe that this statement of CPI(ML) is not only an attempt to calm the dissatisfaction related to seat sharing, but also gives a message that the Left parties still want to maintain balance and cooperation within the alliance.
