Lok Sabha Elections 2024: In an effort to unite before the Lok Sabha elections, the opposition parties held a general meeting on last Friday (June 23) itself and talked about contesting the elections together. Only three days had passed since this meeting that the voices of the opposition leaders were seen changing. After Arvind Kejriwal, now Mamata Banerjee’s statement has created a political stir. Along with this, the deadlock between the Congress and the CPI(M) in Kerala seems to be increasing.
There is a saying in our country that ‘change of water on every curse, speech on four curses’. But now it seems that the politics of the country has also started on this principle. Mamta Banerjee had tea with Grand Alliance three days back in Patna. Opposition unity was strong, but while making tea in Bengal and asking for votes, their tone changed.
Mamata Banerjee attacks CPI(M)-Congress
Mamta Banerjee on Monday criticized the role of the Marxist Communist Party (CPI) and the Congress during the campaign for the panchayat elections in Bengal. Banerjee said she was trying to form a major opposition alliance against the BJP at the Centre, but the CPI(M) and the Congress were creating hurdles in West Bengal by trying to work with the BJP.
"We will take care of Bengal, remember this"
TMC Chief said that I will break this nefarious alliance in Bengal. He said bid farewell to CPI(M), Congress, BJP and press the button of TMC’s election symbol. Mahajut will be in Delhi and here we will take care of Bengal, remember this.
This is the second time in the last ten days, when Mamata Banerjee has criticized the Congress and the CPI(M) for making a tacit agreement with the BJP. After these statements, it is clear that Mamta Banerjee is not ready to make any kind of compromise in Bengal. TMC wants that no opposition party should stand in front of them from Panchayat to Assembly and Lok Sabha elections. Congress is also aggressive on Mamata Banerjee.
Congress also retaliated
Reacting to Mamata Banerjee’s claim, Congress’ West Bengal unit president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that TMC’s credibility in the fight against BJP has always been under question. We all know what role TMC has played in the last few years in the fight against BJP. He said that campaigning for Mamta Banerjee for Panchayat elections after 12 years shows the weakness of TMC. She has realized what will happen to her party if she does not enter the fray.
Differences also on the ordinance of the Center
Now the Yaksh question is that if this kind of attitude will be seen in the Grand Alliance regarding small elections and issues. If this kind of sharpness is seen, then how will the formula of one candidate against BJP on 450 seats be implemented on the ground. This is also because not only Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal’s party is also openly cursing the Congress in the name of the ordinance.
AAP and Congress face to face
In Delhi’s AAP government, Education Minister Atishi said whether Congress is with PM Modi? If the Congress does not vote against the ordinance, it will become clear. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Ajay Maken hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for taking potshots at his party and accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that his statement on unity of the opposition was trying to harm it and bring about a political tussle with the BJP. It is a deliberate move to bargain.
The former Union Minister said that Kejriwal seeks help from the Congress on the issue of the ordinance brought by the Center for Delhi, while on the other hand shamelessly mocks Congress leaders including Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan. Their ministers set preconditions on our alliance, while their chief spokesperson publicly insults our party and leaders on the day of the opposition party meeting.
Congress and Left standoff in Kerala
In West Bengal Congress and Left are seen together, they contest elections together, but in Kerala Congress and Left are face to face. On June 23, when Rahul Gandhi, Sitaram Yechury were sharing a stage. During that time the Kerala Police arrested Sudhakaran, the Chief of Kerala Congress. Although later he got bail.
Rahul Gandhi tweeted
Today Sudhakaran met Rahul Gandhi and then Rahul targeted the CPM government of Kerala by tweeting. Rahul Gandhi shared photo with Sudhakaran and said Congress is not afraid of vendetta politics.
Omar Abdullah defends opposition unity
After all these statements, National Conference (NC) leader and former Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah targeted the BJP while defending the opposition unity. He said that the reaction of BJP leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah is proof that the meeting of opposition parties in Patna was successful. Only time will tell whether the meeting of opposition parties was a photo shoot or not. What will be the result of this meeting, wait till 2024 (Lok Sabha elections). Why are you so worried now.
Sharad Pawar attacked BJP
NCP President Sharad Pawar also hit back at the BJP, saying on Monday that there was no discussion on the Prime Minister’s post in the meeting of opposition parties held in Patna last week ahead of next year’s Lok Sabha elections. Issues like inflation, unemployment and deliberate attempts to incite communal elements at some places were discussed in the meeting. Why is BJP worried about this meeting, they lack political maturity. BJP can organize meeting and if we organize then why are you worried.
BRS targets Sonia Gandhi and the opposition
Amidst all this, on Monday, Telangana CM KCR’s son and Telangana minister KT Rama Rao targeted senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi. He alleged that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, when it was in power, had committed suicide due to the delay on its part in granting statehood to Telangana. Is anything useful for the people going to come out of the mouth of the opposition leaders? BJP President had come yesterday. Did JP Nadda say something useful? What did he say, said all the wrong things.
BRS leader KT Rama Rao, State Congress President A.K. Without naming Revanth Reddy, he was also attacked. Rama Rao said that whether it is BJP’s Nadda or anyone else, in the last 23 years no leader who has taken on KCR has been able to succeed in his plans. About 1200-1300 youth had lost their lives to get Telangana statehood. For whom did he lose his life and because of what? Has it not happened because of Sonia Gandhi.
Union ministers tightened
On June 23, a meeting of opposition parties was held in Patna and within three days the tone started changing. In view of all these developments, the BJP is questioning the very existence of the opposition alliance. Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur said that people are laughing at the meeting of the opposition. The opposition has no leader, no intention. On the other hand, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that they (opposition parties) had come to Patna to teach unity, but now they themselves are criticizing each other.
BJP preparations begin with PM Modi’s program
Sources say that the next meeting of opposition parties to be held in Shimla will be held on 13 and 14 July. Meanwhile, BJP has also started preparations for the Lok Sabha elections. PM Modi is going to program in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday (June 27). He tweeted that tomorrow at 11:15 am in Bhopal ‘My booth, the strongest’ You will get a chance to interact with lakhs of loyal BJP workers in the programme. This opportunity will further strengthen his resolve for a developed India.
