In a blistering attack, senior TMC leader Kunal Ghosh has put West Bengal Congress on the backfoot, questioning their inability to confront BJP head-on. The provocative remarks came in response to statements from the state Congress president, with Ghosh demanding clarity on who is restraining the grand old party from mounting a serious challenge.
Addressing the media, Ghosh declared TMC as the sole force equipped to vanquish BJP in West Bengal. ‘Under Mamata Banerjee’s astute leadership, we are meticulously planning BJP’s ouster, and this blueprint will soon translate into action,’ he said confidently.
Labeling Congress’s position as ‘utterly meaningless,’ Ghosh highlighted Banerjee’s strategic prowess and past victories over BJP. He challenged Congress to explain their string of electoral debacles.
‘Congress had opportunities in Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana, and Bihar – what stopped you from winning?’ Ghosh quizzed, calling for detailed official responses to reveal the true state of affairs.
He specifically targeted Congress’s mishandling in Maharashtra and their humiliating loss in Delhi. Ghosh also took umbrage at Congress activists’ disruptive tactics during the AI Impact Summit protests, warning against actions that dilute their message.
Recalling the hostile reception Mamata Banerjee encountered at Oxford due to BJP maneuvers, Ghosh insisted on dignified opposition. With TMC positioning itself as the primary anti-BJP bulwark, Ghosh’s offensive signals intensifying pre-poll rivalries in West Bengal.
