The opposition was planning a strategy to defeat the Narendra Modi-led NDA in the Lok Sabha elections by forming an 'India' alliance under one umbrella for one and a half years, but Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said that her party will not lose in the Lok Sabha elections in the state. Not only BJP, but CPI (M) will also fight strongly against Congress. Moreover, we will contest elections not only in West Bengal but also in Assam and Meghalaya. However, Congress is still hopeful of an alliance with Trinamool in West Bengal.
