Rahul Gandhi released the first part of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's biography "One Among You"
The launch of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's biography by Rahul Gandhi in Chennai this evening, widely seen as a get-together of anti-BJP parties, missed many big faces. Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, and their Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh counterparts Uddhav Thackeray and Jagan Reddy were conspicuously absent; all are key players in the efforts to rally anti-BJP forces ahead of the 2024 national election.
The DMK downplayed the no-shows, saying Ms Banerjee "is busy with polls", the others "are not free today" and the date could not be changed.
"Mamata ma'am is busy with elections. Others couldn't make it. We are particular about this launch today as tomorrow is (Mr Stalin's) birthday," said DMK MP Kanimozhi NVN Somu.
On Ms Banerjee and KCR, she said: "Those two have aspirations but that is not the reason for not coming. We all are united in the same thought process. The aim is to help people."
