Kolkata (West Bengal): West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has hinted she might lead the opposition group called the INDIA bloc. BJP leader Locket Chatterjee responded by saying that Congress is losing its power, which is why Mamata wants to step up as the main opposition leader. Chatterjee told ANI that we shouldn’t trust anything Mamata Banerjee says.
He pointed out that after Congress lost important elections in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand, the party is becoming less significant. Chatterjee believes Mamata is trying to take advantage of Congress’s struggles.
Earlier, BJP’s Tarun Chugh said that both the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi are holding the alliance back. He claimed they are more of a burden than a help and that the main goal of the INDIA bloc is to protect corrupt leaders.
On December 3, TMC MP Kirti Azad commented on how Mamata Banerjee could lead the INDIA bloc, highlighting her track record of working well with others. He noted that whenever Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed in West Bengal, Mamata’s support has grown.
On November 26, another TMC MP, Kalyan Banerjee, suggested the need for a strong leader to guide the INDIA bloc, especially after Congress’s recent losses in Haryana and Maharashtra. He emphasized that the opposition needs to be united to challenge the BJP effectively.
