ALL FOR OPPOSITION UNITY..!? TMC and Congress..!
The TMC and congress have an understanding that someone like Chowdhury has to attack Banerjee to stay politically relevant in Murshidabad, where both the parties are jostling for the same space. So the TMC has begun to accept the fact that Chowdhury’s politics requires him to attack them. This is in contrast to the earlier times, when the TMC had demanded that Chowdhury be replaced.
But the TMC has drawn a line where it comes to the poll violence issue. This has caught the congress in a dilemma now.With the Opposition unity being the main focus and the constituents ready to compromise, the congress is not keen to ruffle the TMC’s feathers. It is aware that a frontal attack on Banerjee’s government for the poll violence could cast a shadow on the attempts for opposition unity.
This has led to barb from the bjp, accusing the congress and Left of being the ‘B-team of the TMC’.But the congress doesn’t want to be dragged into this debate. Some battles need to be postponed to win the war, is what the congress thinks.. We have complete faith in Shinde’s leadership and we will accept the decision taken by them,” he said.
BJP minister Sudhir Mungantiwar told this reporter: “One or two upset MLAs don’t represent the voices of all 40-50 shiv sena MLAs. Just like how we can’t induct all bjp MLAs ministers, we can’t make all shiv sena MLAs ministers. Some will have to make the sacrifice or wait for their time.”
