TMC on Congress: Opposition parties have formed an alliance for the Lok Sabha elections. But now everything is not going well in this alliance. Seat sharing, name of the convener, these two big questions are still in front of the INDIA alliance. Meanwhile, TMC seems to be moving away from this alliance. Mamata Banerjee has once again criticized Congress and made allegations regarding seat sharing. Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday criticized the Congress for delaying the discussion on seat sharing in West Bengal, citing its “unreasonable” demand for 10-12 Lok Sabha constituencies.
Things that came out during the closed room organizational meeting
There are reports that Mamata Banerjee’s party has offered only two seats to Congress in the state. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said this during a closed-door organizational meeting of the party unit of Birbhum, a district considered to be the stronghold of Trinamool. During the internal meeting, he stressed the need for Trinamool’s victory on both the Lok Sabha seats of the district and urged the party leaders to be prepared for the electoral battle.
Doubt on contesting elections with TMC alliance
At the same time, a senior party leader, on the condition of anonymity, shared the information about the meeting with media agency PTI and said that our party chief clearly said that we need to think about seat-sharing talks with the Congress. No need. He said that the party had offered two seats but Congress has many times demanded 10-12 seats. Now, when such a dispute is going on regarding the seat, then it is better to contest the elections by staying with the TMC alliance. But doubt remains.
Congress had leveled allegations against Mamata government
Earlier, when the Enforcement Directorate team was attacked in North 24 Parganas, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary had cornered the Mamata government in a press conference and also made many allegations. In such a situation, when the BJP supported parties are busy preparing for the Lok Sabha elections, internal discord is visible in this party in alliance with many other parties including Congress. There are many other states including Bihar where sources say that due to seat sharing, there is some dispute going on between the parties.
