West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s bid to lead the INDIA bloc has gained backing from key leaders, including Lalu Prasad Yadav and Jagan Reddy’s YSRCP. Regional parties like the Samajwadi Party and NCP also support her. RJD leader Lalu Yadav dismissed Congress’s objections, saying they “don’t matter.” TMC leaders urged Congress to set aside its ego, arguing Mamata’s experience could strengthen the alliance. However, Congress raised doubts about the Trinamool’s influence beyond West Bengal, citing poor performance in other states. The rift highlights a growing struggle over leadership within the opposition alliance.
