Will Mamata dent BJP’s Tripura bastion by wooing back erstwhile dissident?
Kolkata: The Assembly poll results of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh is unlikely to impact the future of the grand-opposition INDIA alliance since the results are personal defeats of Congress, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Monday.
“This is Congress’s defeat and not the defeat of the people. But I strongly believe that the INDIA alliance will remain united and work together,” the chief minister said on the Assembly premises.
Her comments come just an hour after Trinamool Congress national general secretary and the party Lok Sabha member Abhishek Banerjee said that Congress should take lessons from the latest results and change its approach towards other allies in the INDIA alliance. He also said that the latest Assembly result was a result of the “pollution created by the central agencies”.
