AAP vs Congress vs TMC: Who Can Trounce The Triple Whammy That Spells Doom for Opposition Unity Dreams?

News 18  

There is a spring in the step of the Congress after winning the Karnataka polls. Congress general secretary KC Venugopal after talks involving party leader Rahul Gandhi, its president Mallikarjun Kharge, and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar said on Monday that the date for an opposition meeting will be announced in a day or two. In fact, even on the Centre’s controversial Delhi ordinance, while AAP has got support from some opposition outfits like the TMC, and even Congress allies such as the JD, the grand old party’s response has been cautious. The party believes in the rule of law and at the same time does not condone unnecessary confrontation, political witch hunt and campaigns based on lies against political opponents by any political party.” This is under pressure from Delhi leaders like Sandeep Dikshit and Ajay Maken who have openly criticised AAP for not being able to sort out its tussle with bureaucrats. West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee insists that the Congress must ensure Adhir sheds this opposition.
