Meanwhile, the anti-BJP alliance formed in the last session led by the Congress has also started cracking. The Trinamool will not attend the all-party meeting convened by the Congress ahead of the upcoming winter session of Parliament. According to party sources, the Trinamool will not attend any meeting congress called. There is no question of coordination with the Congress in the winter session of Parliament. The Trinamool will not even send a representative to the meeting of opposition leaders called by any Congress MP.

Sources are saying that the Goa leaders of the Trinamool Congress do not want any direct talks with the Congress. Because, a few months later, the assembly are to be held elections in Goa. And there the Congress is fighting against the BJP as well as the TMC. And so the grassroots leaders in Delhi have to avoid any meeting called by the Congress before the winter session of Parliament.
