Mani Shankar Aiyar’s BIG claim: Rahul Gandhi will command greater respect if…

Live Mint  

Veteran Congress leader and former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar has suggested that the grand-old party should be ready to shun the leadership of the opposition INDIA bloc. Soon after the Maharashtra results, Trinamool Congress leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took a veiled swipe at the Grand Old Party. Banerjee expressed interest in running the INDIA bloc— with many key leaders in the Opposition bloc backing her as a ‘capable’ leader. On December 10,RJD chief and former Bihar chief minister, Lalu Prasad Yadav extended support to Banerjee to take a leadership role in the opposition INDIA bloc.
