==Formation==
Following the heavy defeats in the 2011 Assembly equations and the 2014 Indian national election, the party welcomed ideas of the alliance even with parties not conforming to the communist manifesto. The first signs came when in the [[Siliguri]] municipal election, [[CPI(M)]] made some local understanding with [[Indian National Congress|INC]] resulting in CPI(M) leader [[Ashok Bhattacharya]] being appointed as the [[mayor]]. This success got popularity as Siliguri Model.

After the success of the model, in the long run, some Congress and CPI(M) leader advocated for a Left-Congress alliance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://infoelections.com/infoelection/index.php/kolkata/6939-left-congress-alliance-in-west-bengal-elections-2016.html|title=Left-Congress alliance in West Bengal Elections 2016, hinted Left leaders|work=infoelections}}</ref> This gradually materialized into "Alliance" between INC and Left Front in all the seats except in [[Murshidabad]] district.

After much dispute and secession of [[SUCI(C)]] and [[Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist)|CPI(ML)]] from Left Front, both Congress and Lefts formed a basis of what they called "seat sharing", strongly objecting to the use of the word-"alliance".

Left Front consisting of [[CPI(M)]], [[CPI]], [[Revolutionary Socialist Party (India)|RSP]] and [[All India Forward Bloc]] along with [[Indian National Congress|INC]] (Congress) (who were on an Electoral agreement with the Left Front) released their respective candidate list in several rounds after consultations and bargaining.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://infoelections.com/infoelection/index.php/kolkata/6338-wset-bengal-cpm-candidate-list.html|title=West Bengal Assembly Election Left Front Candidate List 2016|work=Infoelection}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://infoelections.com/infoelection/index.php/kolkata/6336-west-bengal-congress-candidate-list.html|title=West Bengal Assembly Election Congress Candidate List 2016|work=Infoelection}}</ref>
