TMC’s Abhishek on alliance with Congress: ‘Was keen on it, even went to meet Rahul Gandhi at 6 am’

India TV News  

Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee has opened up on the party’s willingness to forge an alliance with the Congress party and said that had TMC not been serious about it, he would not have rushed to Rahul Gandhi’s residence in Delhi at 6 am. Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek asserted that the TMC candidates are the true representatives of the I.N.D.I.A bloc in West Bengal. Notably, TMC and Congress, despite being a part of the Opposition’s grand alliance, are not contesting the Lok Sabha Elections in alliance with each other in the state. We were willing to have an alliance with the Congress in Lok Sabha polls in West Bengal, and despite state Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's barbs at our party for months, we did not react for a long time," he said on Saturday.
