After West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's reported statement "willing to lead INDIA bloc", BJP leader Locket Chatterjee said on Saturday that the Congress' existence is diminishing politically so CM Mamata wants to become the face of the opposition.

Speaking to ANI, Chatterjee said that nothing that Mamata Banerjee says can be trusted.

"Everyone in India Block was united to defeat BJP but Congress is not there in the results of Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand... Congress's existence is diminishing politically, so Mamata Banerjee wants to become the face of the Leader of the Opposition... However, nothing she (Mamata Banerjee) says can be trusted," the BJP leader said.

Earlier today, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh said that the alliance and Congress have completely succumbed under the weight of Rahul Gandhi.

"This is a power struggle between people who do not match with each other. The alliance and Congress have completely succumbed under the weight of Rahul Gandhi. Congress and Rahul Gandhi are nothing more than a liability. The sole purpose of the INDI bloc is to ensure political placement and protect a corrupt clan," Chugh told ANI.

On December 3, in response to a query regarding TMC leaders suggesting that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should be made the INDIA bloc leader days after Congress faced a crushing defeat in Maharashtra assembly polls, party MP Kirti Azad said that the ruling TMC supremo takes everyone along.

"Mamata Banerjee has a 100 per cent record. Whenever Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced a humiliating defeat, it was only in West Bengal...Whenever he comes to insult Bengal and its honour, her vote share increases," the TMC leader said.

On November 26, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee suggested that one strong leader is needed to lead the INDIA bloc following the defeat of Congress in Haryana and Maharashtra assembly polls. He had further said that the opposition alliance should be stronger to take on the BJP. (ANI)
