Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is facing hurdles in West Bengal, ruled by INDIA bloc member TMC. The Nyay Yatra is facing problems in getting permission to organise public meetings and other events in the state.
On Wednesday, West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee said seat-sharing with the Congress in the state’s Lok Sabha seats was off the table. The dispute arose over the number of seats the TMC was ready to give to the Congress as part of the INDIA alliance, with the Congress rejecting the offer of the 2 Lok Sabha seats that it had won in the previous polls.
In yet another blow to the Opposition INDIA bloc, former Haryana chief minister and Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday indicated he was not inclined to have an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the state for the coming Lok Sabha elections.
With West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee turning up the heat on the Congress and declaring that her party would contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls alone, the Opposition INDIA alliance seems to be unravelling in the state, where the CPI(M)-led Left has already been up in arms against the TMC.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hit out at the INDIA bloc as soon as Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee announced to go solo in West Bengal in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee declared Wednesday that no talks were on with the Congress, and that her party would contest the coming Lok Sabha polls alone in the state, with the issue of national alliance to be decided only after the elections.
In a sign of rifts within the Opposition INDIA alliance, the West Bengal CPI(M) has made it clear to the Congress that while supportingRahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra the party would give the Yatra a miss in the state if the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) participates in it.
The possibility of a seat-sharing pact between the Congress and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal receded further on Thursday with the TMC signalling it would not meet the five-member national alliance committee of the Congress that has been holding talks with parties of the INDIA alliance to work out seat adjustments in states. Sources in the TMC said the party had already conveyed its offer to the Congress.
