West Bengal state Congress leader Manas Bhuniya today said the party leadership from the state will raise its voice in the next AICC conference by stating that Rahul Gandhi is a natural leader of the party and country.
"In the next AICC session, we will raise our voice that Rahul Gandhi is a natural leader of the party and country," Bhuniya said, while refusing to comment on media reports on a proposed alliance between the Congress and the Trinamool Congress in the state.
"As of now we have not received any instructions from the party high command about any alliance with Trinamool in the next Lok Sabha elections. We in the PCC have unanimously passed a resolution that Congress wants to contest all 42 seats of the state and we have conveyed it to the high command," said Bhuniya.
