Sometimes close, sometimes far…Mama in a 'wait and see' mood regarding the Indian alliance?

Three days before the 2024 Lok Sabha election results, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has called a meeting of key leaders of the All India Alliance on June 1. On the final day of polling, top leaders of the All India Alliance will hold a brainstorming session in Delhi to review the 2024 elections and formulate future strategies. West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee will not attend the All India meeting, while she had earlier talked about outside support for the opposition alliance. In this way, Mamata Banerjee sometimes appears close to and sometimes distant from the Indian alliance. In such a situation, the question arises whether Mamata seems to be in a 'wait and watch' mood? To prevent Prime Minister Modi and the BJP from getting a hat-trick of power, more than 30 small and big opposition parties, including the Congress, have come together on a single platform and decided to form an alliance and contest the elections. It was named Mamata Banerjee's proposed India Alliance. However, Mamata announced that she would contest alone in Bengal as seat-sharing talks with the Congress failed. Mamata decided to 'go it alone' in 2024, but continued to talk about staying in the Indian alliance. Mamata Banerjee said she would not participate in the Indian Alliance meeting after the election results and spoke about supporting the Indian Alliance from outside, considering the post-election situation, she has withdrawn from participating in the Indian Alliance meeting. have taken Mamata Banerjee told reporters that she will not participate in the Indian Alliance meeting on June 1 due to the elections in Bengal and the Ramal storm. My priority is to make sure people get relief from the storm. However, Mamata Banerjee has said that she will send her representative to the All India meeting instead. Mamata gave this hint for withdrawing from the June 1 meeting Mamata Banerjee may have stayed away from the All India meeting based on the last phase of polling and the cyclone, but it is considered part of Mamata Banerjee's political strategy. would have been Senior journalist Siddharth Kalhans says that Mamata Banerjee does not want to reveal her cards before the elections. This time even the election experts are unable to predict the election results correctly or are they in a position to say whose government is going to be formed? There is no wave for any party in the Lok Sabha polls and the results will be a shocker because of this. That is why Mamata Banerjee is moving forward with great enthusiasm and wants to retain her role even after the results. Meanwhile, veteran journalist Vijay Upadhyay said that from Mamata Banerjee's reasons for not attending the meeting, it is clear that India wants to stay out of the alliance for the time being. After Trinamool Congress's decision to contest alone in Bengal, it became clear that Mamata had nothing to do with the Indian alliance. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary has said that Mamata Banerjee may also support the BJP after the elections. It is believed that Mamata wants to clarify her position after the election results and she does not want to clarify her position by joining the All India alliance. That is why India sometimes seems far away from alliance and sometimes closer to it. Mamata Banerjee does not want to stand openly with the opposition camp before the Lok Sabha election results. India will consider joining the alliance by negotiating based on the number of seats won and its demand. The last phase of the election will be held on June 1 and the results will be announced on June 4. BJP leader Syed Zafar Islam said that Mamata Banerjee used the last phase of the election as an excuse to not attend the All India meeting, whereas on polling day what is her business in Bengal. At the same time, Mamata Banerjee is attending all the meetings of the Indian Alliance, but the last phase of the election is on June 1, it is said from the Trinamool Congress side. Polling is underway in 9 constituencies in Bengal, but more than that, the state is facing cyclone threat. That is why they send their representatives. TMC has been participating in every meeting of opposition parties and will continue to participate in future.
