Time has come for the elimination of the BJP from the country says Mamata Bannerjee

Highly enthused by the victory of the Congress Party in the three states viz. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, the West Bengal chief minister and the TMC chief Mamata Bannerjee has said that the season of elimination of the BJP led NDA from the country has started and the defeat of the latter in these state elections has proved home the point.

Speaking to the media Mamata Bennerjee said these shameful defeats of the saffron party will now open the new expeditious chapter of non BJP opposition unity in the country, particularly in view of the fast approaching general elections of 2019 and assured that the process of unification will now go ahead with more expedience and credibility.

It may be recalled that the West Bengal chief minister and TMC chief Mamata Benarjee was in the forefront of initiating the non opposition unity efforts and was the first leader who took credit to initiate the exercise by personally meeting all the opposition leaders viz Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Yadav, Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav, Chandra Babu Naidu, Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Benerjee n others and was also present in the Congress JD(U) government formation n swearing in ceremony in Bengaluru where the entire conglomeration of anti BJP leadership was present including the former PM H. D. Devgowda.

Thereafter the cudgles of the unity efforts to form the national grand alliance were taken over by the Andhra CM n Telegu Desam Party chief N. Chandra Babu Naidu who ‘d till now met all the opposition leaders and convened the meeting on 11th, 12th December in New Delhi after meeting all the party chiefs and state CMs opposed to the BJP.

In the meanwhile, the Congress victory in three states have further enthused the spirit and moral of the main proponent of non BJP unity Chandra Babu Naidu thus inviting the statement of full fledged support of Mamata Bannerjee as well.

In this whole development , the BJP Supremo Mayawati who broke the alliance with Congress Party in Chattisgarh and contested with Ajit Jogi’s support in Chattisgarh n alone in Rajasthan and MP losing in majority of seats ( picture still not clear) is completely mum and has not issued any congratulatory message till yet despite her beng the part and parcel of the non BJP opposition unity efforts and herself venturing on her own to be one of the prime ministerial candidate of this alliance.

However, N.Chandrababu Naidu including the Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had already made it crystal clear that the leadership issue would be resolved after the general election n there would be no prume ministerial candidate of the proposed grand alliance.

According to the reliable sources, both Mamata Bannerjee and Mayawati were trying to project themselves as the prime ministerial candidates of the grand alliance though not directly but sending signals, sidelining Rahul Gandhi but after today’s massive victory of Congress in three states it’s almost definite that the Nehru Gandhi scion has emerged as the strongest leader of the non BJP opposition unity, also being the chief of a 135 year old party having full fledged party organisation till block levels from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari n also having ruled the country for 60 protracted years.

But despite all this there lots of challanges to be confronted by him at the hands of the regional leaders always trying to establish their political supremacy by asking for the maximum seat share particularly leaders like Akhikesh Yadav, Mayawati n Mamata Bennerjee.
