Bengal bypolls likely to decide relationship dynamics between Congress, TMC's Mamata faction

The upcoming October 6 assembly bypolls in West Bengal present a significant test for political alliances. Mamata Banerjee's faction and Congress are exploring electoral cooperation amid their separate contests. In Nandigram, the Congress candidate has gained the support of Banerjee's faction after their candidate withdrew. Rejinagar will show the ability of both parties to hold their political ground independently.
