The Left has been an ideological supporter of the Congress party since decades. The conflict regarding Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s nomination appears to be a case of friendly fire in a state where the CPI(M) earlier enjoyed complete domination over its opponents. The TMC had earlier announced their support to Abhishek Singhvi for the Rajya Sabha election.
