Lalu Prasad Yadav supported Mamata Banerjee in her wish to lead the INDIA bloc.

December 10, 2024: After West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed his wish to lead the INDIA block, Lalu Prasad Yadav supported her on Tuesday.

The veteran RJD leader said, “The leadership of the India Alliance should be given to Mamata Banerjee. We agrees on it.”

Lalu Prasad Yadav dismissed any potential objection of Congress:

Dismissing potential objections from the Congress party, he added, ‘Nothing will happen if Congress objects. It should be given to Mamata Banerjee.”

This statement aligns with Banerjee’s earlier expression of dissatisfaction with the alliance’s leader and West Bengal Chief Minister. Her comments have generated a broader conversation about leadership within the opposition camp.

The Congress party, a key stakeholder in the opposition bloc, may not be entirely receptive to Mamata Banerjee’s proposal.

Lalu Prasad Yadav’s sarcasm on Nitish Kumar for his proposed Yatra:

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced a Mahila Samvad Yatra, which has become another focal point of political discourse.

Lalu Prasad Yadav responded sarcastically, stating, “He is going to warm his eyes.”

While dismissing Nitish Kumar’s claims of winning 225 seats in the 2025 Bihar assembly election, Lalu Prasad Yadav said he should warm his eyes first.

With assembly elections slated for 2025, both the ruling alliance and the opposition are gearing up for a high-stakes battle. Nitish Kumar’s Yatra and RJD’s counter-strategy signify the intensifying political climate in the state.

Nitish Kumar will start the Mahila Samvad Yatra on December 15.
