"Congress Least Bothered": Trinamool Editorial On Firming Up Alliance Against BJP

Trinamool Congress (TMC) in its mouthpiece "Jago Bangla" iterated that it would venture out to other states to expand its base and put up a formidable fight against the BJP.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Thursday launched a fresh attack on the Congress, accusing the grand old party of "limiting itself to Twitter space" instead of firming up an opposition alliance against the BJP.

As West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee embarked on her three-day visit to poll-bound Goa, the party in its mouthpiece "Jago Bangla" iterated that it would venture out to other states to expand its base and put up a formidable fight against the BJP.

"We want an alliance to be formed against the BJP. We have said this to the Congress, too. But it is least bothered and shows a lackadaisical approach," an editorial in the TMC mouthpiece said.

Referring to the proposal of setting up of a joint steering committee by Banerjee during the August 20 opposition meet convened by Congress president Sonia Gandhi, the editorial said nothing has moved forward since then.
