Congress enhances attack on Rafale while Mamata accelerates anti BJP unity efforts

While on the one hand the latest report of the septuagenarian veteran journalist and chied editor of THE HINDU has created a storm in the political circles of India on the controvertial Rafale issue with the former finance minister P Chidambram holding a press conference yesterday giving the startling revelations of N Ram more weitage , making his PC the main headlines in today’s newspapers, the West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on the other hand is leaving no stone unturned to become the nucleaus of the entire non BJP opposition in the country thus paving the clear way in the formation of a credible grand alliance ” Mahagathbandhan” in the country.

Her Brigade Parade Ground’s massive UNITED INDIA rally in Calcutta to be addressed by more than 12 leaders of national fame belonging to DMK, Samajwadi Party, Congress, NCP, CPM, CPI, Janta Dal (Secular), RJD, and other opposition parties etc viz the former Prime minister HD Deve Gowda, Sharad Pawar, MK Stalin, Mallikarjun Kharge, D Raja, former Arunachal Pradesh CM Geogang Apang, CM HD Kumarswamy, Tejasvi Yadav etc.

While the general election of 2019 are nearing and the attacks on the Modi government have been accelerated by the Congress party and various non BJP opposition leaders, efforts on the Mahagathbandhan parties have also enhanced showing positive results.

The recent Samajwadi Party – Bahujan Samjwadi Party and RLD alliance in the largest state of UP followed by the West Bengal chief minister Mamta Bannerjee’s attempt through her massive rally in Calcutta inviting all the opposition leaders of major political parties opposed to BJP unambiguously speaks of the fact that these non BJP parties at the pan India level have finally made up their minds to give a formidable challenge to mighty BJP led NDA under prime minister Modi’s leadership who’s party recently got defeated in the three hindi heartland states at the hands of the Congress party led by young, dynamic n vociferous Rahul Gandhi.

While the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party chiefs’ Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav have tried their best to sideline Congress Party in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Bannerjee’s positive attempt to bring every non BJP party under the umbrella of Mahagathbandhan have renewed n revived hopes of a credible fiture grand alliance that would definitely give a formidable fight to BJP at the pan India level in 2019.

Sources reveal that West Bengal CM Mamata Benarjee who was earlier in a mood to sideline Congress in the national unification process has now given up that attitude particularly after dramatic improvement in Rahul Gandhi’s image and his winning spree in the three hindi heartland states of Rajasthan, Chattisgarh n Madhya Pradesh, the strong political citadels of BJP.

While there would be regional patch up in the states governed by anti BJP opposition parties on amicable terms, other national opposition parties would get their due share in seat adjustments where they actually matter.

This positive sign in the non BJP opposition camps have infact sent shivers down the spine of the BJP leaders n their NDA partners.

In today’s scenerio while Akhilesh Yadav, Mamata Bannerjee and Mayawati command tremendous say in their respective states of UP n Bengal, one can’t deny the fact that after winning three hindi heartland states n being the biggest party of the country having workers n strong political organisation from Kashmir to Kanhya Kumari with secular credentials, the Congress party can’t be sidelined in the journey towards the formation of the anti BJP mahagathbandhan in the run up for the 2019 elections.
