’Mamata Banerjee has the ability...’: Amartya Sen ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha polls

Live Mint  

As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections loom increasingly closer, Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen on Saturday highlighted the role of regional parties. These include Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee. Sen however opined that while Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee had the ability to lead the country, it was yet to be determined whether the West Bengal Chief Minister could pull together public sentiment against the BJP. While leaders of several parties including Sharad Pawar's NCP and Kumar's Janata Dal have called for a new alliance that includes the Congress, Sen remains somewhat skeptical about the ‘weakened’ parties chances in 2024.
