Adhir BJP’s biggest agent: Abhishek targets Congress

Recently, Mamata Banerjee and Rahul Gandhi came together in a meeting of non-BJP Opposition parties in Patna chaired by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.

Alleging that there is a tacit understanding between the Congress, CPM and the BJP, the TMC leader said, “There is an unannounced understanding between the three parties. For instance, if the Congress filed nominations from one seat, the BJP and CPM abstained from fielding their candidates from there. Similarly, for seats where the CPM fielded candidates, both the BJP and Congress chose not to.”

Banerjee also said that not a single independent candidate who decided to contest the election after not getting TMC ticket will be taken back in the party.

Reacting to Banerjee’s allegations, Adhir Chowdhury said the TMC must first make its stand clear on the Congress as its prospective alliance partner. “Who asked Mamata Banerjee to go to Patna to attend the Opposition meeting? Did the Congress ask her to go there? The TMC has destroyed the Congress in West Bengal. The ruling party has helped the RSS gain a foothold in the state. When Rahul Gandhi was taking out the Bharat Jodo Yatra, why did the TMC stay away from it? The TMC strengthened the BJP’s hands in Goa, Tripura and Meghalaya by contesting elections there and acted as the saffron party’s intermediary. The TMC should be the last party to say such things. We are not ready to get lectured by the TMC,” said Chowdhury.
