West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee

The Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has come out to announce that her party won’t be allying with anyone and will fight the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections alone. The statement by the Trinamool leader comes as a big blow to opposition unity, especially with the Congress which was pushing for greater opposition convergence against the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections due next year.

The announcement by Banerjee comes in the wake of her party losing the by-election in Bengal’s Sagardighi seat to Congress. She also accused the CPM and Congress to be the same as BJP and added that a vote for Congress and CPM is synonymous with a vote for BJP.

Referring to the bypoll result in Sagardihi, she said the truth has come out and further added that the bypoll was a teaching moment for the people that the people can’t trust Congress or CPM. She further termed the BJP, Left, and Congress to have an understanding among themselves and called them to be an immoral alliance due to the transfer of votes.

She further added and accused the Congress, Left, and the BJP have all played communal cards in Sagardighi. She then said that the Trinamool Congress will fight the 2024 Lok Sabha elections with the alliance of the people and no political party.

She further said that those people who want to vote out BJP will vote for Trinamool and further suggested BJP will face the same fate which they did in the Bengal assembly elections.

The statements by the Trinamool chief is a setback to the Congress and other like-minded parties who had been pushing for a grand alliance of Opposition parties to unseat the Government. Most recently, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge in the Congress plenary session suggested that the party is ready to make sacrifices in order to achieve the goal of a grand alliance.

Now, the ball is in the Congress court to follow through and be true to its words. Other opposition parties have also pushed for a grand alliance and opposition Unity.

Kharge had also staked a claim that the Congress will lead the grand Opposition, however, with a tussle brewing, the much-sought after consensus looks fleeting.

Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena today sought a detailed probe from Delhi Police commissioner Sanjay Arora in relation with the alleged defamatory social media post made by Congress’s Supriya Shrinate against actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

Reportedly, BJP candidate from New Delhi Bansuri Swaraj had given a complaint to the LG seeking probe and registration of an FIR against Shrinate for outraging the modesty of a woman. Subsequently, the Delhi LG has forwarded the complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner, directing a scientific investigation in the matter and initiation of legal action, if necessary.

Reports said that the Delhi Police will also investigate who was behind the said social media post and whose mobile phone was used for the purpose. A major controversy erupted on Monday after an objectionable post from Supriya Shrinate’s social media handle against Kangana Ranaut, who has been announced as the BJP candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi.

Responding to the remarks, Kangana Ranaut said that they must free the daughters from the shackles of prejudices and must rise above the curiosity about their body parts. She added that people must refrain from using sex workers’ challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur. She concluded that every woman deserves her dignity. As the controversy intensified, the Congress leader asserted that someone else had posted the objectionable content from her handle. 

Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Wednesday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for her derogatory remarks against Kangana Ranaut. The Election Commission observed that the remarks are undignified and in a bad taste. The election body asked the Congress leader to respond to the commission by Friday. In the notice, the Election Commission stated that the statements made by the leader is prima facie violative of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) being in force ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
