Meanwhile the proposal for Banerjee’s appointment as india bloc chief was raised by party MP kirti Azad who said that the bengal cm was a better face to lead the india bloc and had a perfect record against prime minister Narendra Modi led nda alliance in general and assembly elections. The bjp took potshots at the india bloc saying the alliance was nothing more than a band of enemies that had come together to oppose prime minister Narendra Modi. With the barb mainly aimed at the congress, it said all the opposition allies were unhappy with the Grand Old Party.
Previously Banerjee led TMC and akhilesh yadav led SP skipped the joint opposition protest in the parliament complex over the gautam adani bribery case. While leader of the Opposition rahul gandhi and some congress allies attended the protest, Samajwadi Party’s akhilesh yadav and Trinamool leaders were conspicuous by their absence.
