Mamata Banerjee Doubts Congress' Ability to Win 40 Lok Sabha Seats

TMC chief Mamata Banerjee questioned Congress's ability to win even 40 Lok Sabha seats, accusing the party of trying to appease Muslims for votes in Bengal and criticizing Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' as a "photo op." She expressed doubt about Congress's capability to fight against BJP in Bengal and accused them of not informing TMC about the yatra entering the state. The bitter remarks have strained the relationship between the two parties, with TMC firm on offering only two seats to Congress, while some Congress leaders believe a final decision will emerge by February-end.

Mamata Banerjee's Absence Looms Over INDIA Bloc Meeting

Meanwhile, JD(U) leaders called for a "credible face" like Nitish Kumar to lead the INDIA coalition, urging Congress to show a "big heart" and include all parties to defeat the BJP. Banerjee also emphasized the need for proper seat sharing to prevent the BJP from retaining power in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Adhir Chowdhury's Controversial Actions: Boosting BJP and Challenging Suspension

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, known for openly taking on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has become a key player in the 2024 elections between the BJP and Congress. In a state dominated by the TMC and BJP, Chowdhury's fight against Banerjee is crucial for him to maintain his seat. However, his poor Hindi and tendency to give long speeches have landed him in trouble, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking potshots at the Congress for "ignoring" Chowdhury. The PM's comments highlight the Congress's alleged preference for the Gandhis and their reluctance to give opportunities to leaders without the surname.
