After several rounds of negotiations, the Congress finally accepted the Trinamool Congress' seat-sharing formula on Thursday and thereby proved to its partymen that it was serious about taking on the communists. The Congress gets to contest 14 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, while the Trinamool gets the remaining 28.
