Uninformed Congress Programme:

Adding to the rift, Mamata expressed her disappointment at learning about the Congress Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra programme in West Bengal through unofficial channels.

While ruling out an alliance with the CPI (M), Mamata Banerjee asserted that her party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC), would form the government at the Centre along with like-minded regional partners after the Lok Sabha elections. Speaking at the public event in West Bengal, Mamata emphasized the TMC’s commitment to shaping the political landscape through talks with regional parties.

No Alliance with CPI (M):

Despite the prospects of forming a government with regional allies, Mamata Banerjee ruled out any collaboration with the CPI (M), citing their alleged involvement in the killing of opposition activists during their rule in West Bengal.

Conclusion:
