KOLKATA: Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Prakash Karat on Thursday said the WikiLeaks disclosure in The Hindu of the U.S. cables about American diplomats suggesting that the Trinamool Congress be cultivated showed that Washington wants the party to win the ongoing Assembly elections in West Bengal. “The cable shows that the United States is very clear about where they stand. As far as the elections here are concerned, they would very much like to see the Trinamool Congress in government and they would very much like to see Mamata Banerjee as Chief Minister,” Mr. Karat told journalists. The report comes a day after Biman Bose, State secretary of the CPI(M), made similar comments and alleged that the alliance between the Congress and the Trinamool Congress was formed under U.S. pressure to ensure the defeat of the Left in these elections.
