The INDIA opposition bloc's unity faced another blow as RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav joined regional leaders, including YSRCP's Jagan Reddy, in endorsing Mamata Banerjee for leadership. Banerjee's recent call to lead the bloc has garnered support from Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP leaders. Lalu Yadav dismissed Congress's objections, stating, "Congress's opposition doesn’t matter." TMC leaders urged Congress to "set aside its ego" and back Banerjee, citing her experience. Congress, facing criticism for its electoral losses outside Bengal, remains hesitant, further deepening the bloc's leadership tussle.
