West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee said on Monday that her party will support the Congress in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections where it will be in a strong position. This is the first time that Banerjee has clarified the position on Trinamool Congress’s stand on a possible strategy for opposition unity in the electoral battle ahead.
Mamata Banerjee told reporters at the state secretariat, ‘Wherever the Congress is strong, let them fight. We will support them, there is nothing wrong in that. But they will have to support other political parties as well.’ He said, however, to get support, the Congress will have to support other parties as well.
The Trinamool Congress supremo also made it clear that he expected the seat-sharing formula to give priority to regional parties in areas where they are strong. “Priority should be given to strong regional parties,” he said.
Banerjee had earlier saluted the people of Karnataka after the BJP lost power. However, he refrained from mentioning the oldest party of the country.
In recent years, there has been a clash between the Trinamool Congress and the Congress. He said that wherever any regional political party is strong, BJP cannot fight there. The parties which are strong in a particular area should fight together. I am supporting Congress in Karnataka, but it should not fight against me in Bengal.
I am ready to support Congress in 2024 elections
TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee on supporting Congress in 2024 elections said, she is ready to support Congress in the regions, provided they support me in West Bengal . He said, “Wherever the Congress is strong on its own 200 seats, the calculations we have done, let them fight, we will support them. But they have to support other political parties as well. If I support you in Karnataka but you fight against me in Bengal then this should not be the policy. If you want to achieve something good, you have to make sacrifices in some areas.”
