NDTV
The Congress is incapable of carrying on the baton of the principal opposition, said an article in "Jago Bangla", the mouthpiece of Trinamool Congress.
In an escalation of the war of words between Trinamool and the Congress, Mamata Banerjee's party on Wednesday claimed that it is now the "real Congress" given the fact that the "war weary" grand old party has failed to perform its role as the main opposition to BJP.
The Congress quickly hit back accusing Trinamool of being a "stooge of BJP" and challenged it to prove its credentials on a "pan India" platform.
The Trinamool, which is engaged in a war of words with the Congress over the issue of opposition front leadership, iterated in its mouthpiece "Jago Bangla" that it is committed to fighting BJP.
"Congress is incapable of carrying on the baton of the principal opposition," the article in "Jago Bangla" said and shared details of Trinamool national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee's meeting with the party MPs in New Delhi on Tuesday, where he spoke about the camp's intention to expand in other states.
