Mamata Banerjee Signals Support for Congress in Key Constituencies for 2024 Elections

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief, Mamata Banerjee, has announced that her party will extend support to the Congress in constituencies where the Congress holds a strong position during the forthcoming 2024 elections. This marks the first time Banerjee has clarified her party’s stance on opposition unity for the upcoming electoral battle.

Addressing reporters at the state secretariat, Banerjee stated, “Wherever the Congress is strong, let them fight. We will provide them with support, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, it is essential for them to reciprocate and support other political parties as well.” Banerjee emphasized the need for a mutual exchange of support among political parties to foster unity and maximize the chances of success in the elections.

Additionally, Banerjee asserted that regional parties should be given priority in the seat-sharing formula, particularly in regions where they have a strong presence. This move by Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress aims to strengthen opposition unity and improve their prospects in the 2024 elections.
