Mamata Banerjee Calls for Opposition Unity Against BJP, Rules Out TMC Rebels' ReturnPreviousNext

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee urged INDIA alliance partners, including Congress and CPI(M), to unite against the BJP in West Bengal, emphasizing the fight transcends political egos. She firmly rejected the return of party rebels, challenging them to join the BJP directly. The TMC faces internal divisions, highlighted by parallel rallies from Banerjee's faction and a breakaway group led by Ritabrata Banerjee. Mamata also criticized the BJP-led state government for alleged harassment of TMC members and vowed to continue opposition protests.
