West Bengal Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday released the party's election mfesto 'Banglar Disha' for the upcoming assembly elections in the state.

Chowdhury launched the mfesto at the party's state headquarters in Kolkata.

The release of Congress' poll mfesto comes a day after Bharatiya Janata Party unveiled its 'Sankalp Patra for Sonar Bangla'. BJP's mfesto was released by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Kolkata on Sunday.

Notably, the Left Front, the alliance partner of Congress for the West Bengal polls had released its mfesto on Saturday. Following this, there is a lot of speculation going on in the political arena as there has been no unified mfesto of the alliance.

The ruling Trinamool Congress took the lead in launching it's mfesto first.

Elections to the 294-member state Assembly will be held in eight phases starting from March 27 with the final round of voting taking place on April 29. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.

The state is likely to witness a triangular contest this time with TMC, Congress-Left alliance and BJP in the fray.
