New Delhi: Mamata Banerjee’s statement has once again started the leadership debate in the opposition Bharat Alliance. While the BJP hit back at Mamata Banerjee’s statement and said that no leader of the Bharat Alliance has faith in the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
BJP leader Pradeep Bhandari said that none of the Bharat Alliance leaders have faith in the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra. This coalition believes that Rahul Gandhi is a political failure… Sometimes Akhilesh Yadav says he is the leader, sometimes Mamata Banerjee says he is the leader, sometimes Stalin says he is the leader and I say with one voice that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra are not leaders. We don’t call Rahul Gandhi a childish person, Bharat Gatbandhan calls Rahul Gandhi a childish person.
Let us tell you that Mamata Banerjee on Friday expressed her dissatisfaction with the performance of the opposition ‘Bharat’ alliance and expressed her intention to take charge of it if given an opportunity. The Trinamool Congress chief said he would be able to juggle the dual responsibilities of leading the opposition front while continuing his role as Bengal chief minister. He said in an interview, “I formed the ‘Bharat’ coalition, now it is up to those who lead the front. If they can’t do it, what can I do? All I can say is that everyone needs to move together.
Asked why she was identified as an anti-BJP force, Banerjee said, “If given an opportunity, I will ensure its smooth functioning,” I don’t want to go out of Bengal. But I can run it from here.” The ‘Bharat’ coalition formed to take on the BJP comprises more than two dozen opposition parties. However, it has faced criticism from various quarters due to internal differences and lack of coordination.
The chief minister’s comments came days after her party MP Kalyan Banerjee called on the Congress and other ‘Bharat’ coalition partners to put aside their egos and recognize Mamata Banerjee as the leader of the opposition coalition. The BJP performed well in Maharashtra, winning a record number of seats, handing a landslide victory to the ruling ‘Mahayuti’ coalition led by the party, while JMM’s strong performance in Jharkhand marked a strong comeback for the ‘Bharat’ alliance.
