NDTV
Mamata Banerjee's statement would set a template that the Congress should not enter into states where it is perceived to be weak, said BJP.
The BJP on Tuesday said Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee has drawn "a no-go zone" for the Congress in West Bengal and other states by saying she will support the grand old party wherever it is strong provided it reciprocates.
BJP national spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala said Ms Banerjee's statement on Monday would set a template that the Congress should not enter into states like West Bengal, Telangana or Uttar Pradesh where it is perceived to be weak.
He also said there is "no mission and vision" in the efforts being made to forge opposition unity ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The West Bengal Chief Minister said on Monday that in the seat-sharing formula for the 2024 polls, strong regional parties must be given priority where they are strong.
