Kolkata, Dec 12 (NationPress) BJP leader Rahul Sinha on Thursday accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of lacking sincere intentions for the success of the INDIA bloc, amidst ongoing speculation about her aspirations for leadership within the Opposition alliance.
Sinha's comments followed Mamata Banerjee's expression of her desire to lead the INDIA bloc, which was met with support from several leaders within the alliance.
In response, Mamata expressed gratitude towards her 'supporters', noting that she is "indebted" to their trust and hopes for the success of the alliance.
Reacting to her statements, Sinha accused Mamata of having personal ambitions. He remarked, "Mamata Banerjee has a recurring dream of becoming the Prime Minister, which resurfaces every election season. Even though elections are far away, her intentions are clear -- she does not want the INDIA bloc to truly succeed," he stated to IANS.
Further alleging that Mamata aims to dominate the alliance and the Congress, Sinha asserted, "She wants the INDIA bloc and Congress to operate under her directives. This attitude will ultimately benefit the BJP. The sooner this 'khichdi gathbandhan' collapses, the better it will be for the nation, as it is causing significant harm."
Addressing the allegations of discord between West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu and Governor C.V. Ananda Bose, Sinha claimed that Basu was following Mamata's orders.
"Whatever Bratya Basu is doing, he is acting under Mamata Banerjee's instructions. Mamata has two faces -- she says different things depending on the situation. She changes colours faster than a chameleon. On one hand, she stages a drama of sitting and talking with the Governor, and on the other, she sends Basu to stir up trouble," he remarked.
Sinha dismissed any possibility of Basu acting independently, stating, "Basu lacks the courage to create differences between Mamata and the Governor. Mamata knows she can only carry out her misdeeds if the Raj Bhavan is weakened. She is orchestrating this conflict to ensure her plans go unchecked, as only the Governor can halt her actions."
Sinha also criticized Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee for his controversial remarks directed at Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia in the Lok Sabha.
"Kalyan Banerjee should have himself examined. An MP who speaks without restraint or understanding, despite years of experience, clearly has something wrong. He should consult a doctor immediately," Sinha emphasized.
