Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's TMC has expressed impatience over the seat-sharing deal with Bengal Congress. TMC has offered two seats to Congress in Bengal - Berhampore and Malda (South). Mamata has agreed to leave these seats to Congress, although officially both sides denied any such agreement. TMC is not inclined to cede much ground and wants to teach BJP a lesson in Bengal. Congress high command will decide the alliance framework in Bengal soonest. Mamata has urged Congress to let Akhilesh Yadav lead INDIA's fight in UP and Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi and Punjab.
