BJP takes dig at Mamata Banerjee as TMC decides to go solo in Lok Sabha polls

As the news of Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee's decision to go solo in Bengal in 2024 polls came to light, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) IT cell head Amit Malviya reacted to this by saying that it is a sign of desperation.

Amit Malviya shared a post on X, in which he said, "Mamata Banerjee's decision to fight alone in West Bengal is a sign of desperation. Unable to hold her political ground, she wants to fight all seats, in the hope that she can still be relevant, after the polls."

He further stated in his post, "Much against her desire, to emerge as the face of the Opposition alliance, no one ever proposed her name. Her several trips to Delhi, to build a national profile, didn’t work.

Malviya also hit out at Mamata Banerjee for post-poll violence in West Bengal and said, "She just couldn’t hide the blood of post-poll violence and rid herself of the nauseating stink of appeasement politics."

Malviya concluded his post by saying that the decision of Mamata Banerjee to go 'solo comes just before Rahul Gandhi’s circus arrives in Bengal, is a death knell for I.N.D.I Alliance.'

The TMC supremo in her announcement said that the regional parties should be left to fight alone in other states. The alliance should not interfere with that.
