Mamata Banerjee should be handed over the leadership of the Indian alliance, there is no point in opposing Congress: Lalu Prasad Yadav

Lalu Yadav supports Mamata Banerjee to lead Bharat Alliance: After the crushing defeat of Congress in Haryana and Maharashtra assembly elections, discord has broken out in the Indian alliance. After Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, now Lalu Prasad Yadav has also demanded to hand over the command of the Grand Alliance to Mamata Banerjee instead of Rahul Gandhi. He said that efforts will have to be made to improve the alliance. Lalu, nothing will happen just by Congress raising objection. The coalition partners want and are discussing changes. This comment of Lalu Yadav is being considered important and it is also being linked to Bihar Assembly elections.

There is no point in opposing Congress

Lalu Yadav’s demand to make Mamata Banerjee the leader of India Alliance in place of Rahul Gandhi is also important. Before the Lok Sabha elections, he had a good relationship with Lalu Yadav. This statement of Lalu Yadav, who convinced Rahul Gandhi to become the groom, is very important. He has made it clear that Congress’s objection alone will not do anything, but to strengthen the alliance, a change in leadership is necessary and there is nothing wrong in it.

This statement is also being linked to the assembly elections.

Lalu Yadav has raised this demand at a time when Tejashwi Yadav is in Kolkata. Actually, this statement of Lalu Yadav is also being linked to the assembly elections. Recently, Congress had given a statement regarding seat sharing, in which it had talked about seat sharing on the basis of strike rate. Apart from this, in Maharashtra too, there was a long tussle with Uddhav Thackeray’s party Shiv Sena. Assembly elections are to be held in Bihar next year itself where it has an alliance with RJD, hence Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi do not want Congress to be given any chance to dominate them.

This statement of RJD as part of pressure strategy

It is believed that this statement of RJD is under pressure strategy, in which Rahul Gandhi’s leadership has been questioned. RJD feels that by doing this, Congress will be put on the backfoot and in such a situation it will become weak in bargaining during seat sharing. Under this strategy, Lalu Yadav has given a statement regarding the change in the leadership of the Indian alliance. Let us tell you that Satyapal Malik has also demanded to hand over the leadership of the opposition alliance to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.
