Kolkata.17 March 2023. Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee and Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav have decided to distance themselves from both BJP and Congress. On Friday, Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. After this, Akhilesh said that SP will stand firmly with TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee to defeat the saffron camp.
At the same time, Mamta Banerjee will also meet Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal chief Naveen Patnaik on March 23 on the same issue. Talking to the media after meeting Mamta, Akhilesh said that we are with Mamta didi in Bengal. We want to maintain equal distance from both BJP and Congress. He said that those who get ‘BJP vaccine’ installed, they do not care about CBI, ED or IT. Samajwadi Party is ready to make any sacrifice to protect the Constitution. If we can defeat BJP in UP, then BJP can be defeated all over the country.
Akhilesh has already praised Mamta
Former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav also accused the BJP of selling off the country’s wealth. Earlier in a program, Akhilesh has praised Mamta for defeating BJP in the 2021 assembly elections.On the other hand, TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay while talking to a media organization said that the BJP is creating ruckus in Parliament over a statement made by Rahul Gandhi abroad. Until Rahul Gandhi apologises, BJP will not allow Parliament to function. The meaning is clear that they are not allowing the Parliament to function by using the Congress. BJP wants Rahul Gandhi to become the face of opposition, which will help BJP.
TMC MP said – Congress is not the Big Boss of the opposition
The TMC MP said that it is a fallacy to think that the Congress is the ‘Big Boss’ of the opposition. Mamta Banerjee will meet Naveen Patnaik on 23 March. We will also talk to other opposition parties to distance themselves from both BJP and Congress. He said that we are not saying that this is the third front, but the regional parties have the strength to counter the BJP.
