In Bengal, the opposition BJP and the Left-Congress combine met separately today to thrash out strategy for the Bengal Assembly elections, which is barely six months away. For the ruling Trinamool Congress, the job is being done by election strategist Prashant Kishor. Some party MLAs are grumbling about him, their voices louder after Mr Kishor's bid last week to meet disgruntled Trinamool leader Suvendu Adhikari failed.
