Days after breaking ties with Congress in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launches a scathing attack on the party, questioning its electoral prospects. Speaking at a public gathering in Murshidabad, Banerjee expressed skepticism over Congress winning "even 40 seats" in the upcoming general elections. She challenged Congress to defeat BJP in Varanasi and criticized Rahul Gandhi's recent interactions with 'beedi' workers as a mere photo opportunity. This verbal onslaught comes amidst strained relations between TMC and Congress, with Banerjee's decision to contest elections independently in her state. Trinamool reportedly rejected Congress's seat-sharing demands, citing poor electoral performance.
