Trinamul Congress is open to local alliances in Assam with parties that are aggressively fighting the BJP, but “under no circumstance” will it ally with Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF, the saffron party’s “B-team”, state unit chief Ripun Bora said on Saturday.

Observing that the TMC will support the Opposition’s joint candidate in the upcoming presidential election, Bora, however, remained non-committal on whether the Mamata Banerjee-led party will enter into any understanding with the Congress in Assam.
