Mamata Banerjee’s call for ‘regional alliance’ against BJP
Recently, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee had said that her party will fight the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh.
“I want all regional parties to unite, fight and defeat the BJP in 2024,” Mamata Banerjee had said.
Mamata Banerjee also campaigned for the Samajwadi Party ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election and shared stage with party president Akhilesh Yadav.
Where does Congress stand in the picture?
In December last year, Mamata Banerjee sent shockwaves across the Congress camp by saying the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) does not exist anymore.
Mamata Banerjee had also criticized the Congress for its absent leadershipcalling for a stronger regional alliance to take on the BJP at the national level.
However, the Congress had then called out Mamata Banerjee of helping the BJP with her remarks. Congress leader Kapil Sibal had said, “Without the Congress, UPA will be a body without a soul. Time to show opposition unity.”
