India Alliance In Bengal

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale invited former Bengal Congress Chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury to join the NDA alliance on Wednesday.

Deviating from the stand taken by her counterparts belonging to other parties in the INDIA alliance, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said she will attend the Niti Aayog on Saturday because it is in the interest of her state.

INDIA bloc candidate and Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's wife Kamlesh Thakur today won the Dehra assembly bypoll in Himachal Pradesh while the alliance's AAP secured the Jalandhar West seat and Trinamool Congress took two in West Bengal.

Sending out a strong signal that all is well between the Trinamool Congress and the INDIA alliance following the pre-election acrimony, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is ready to campaign for Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

The TMC in West Bengal and the DMK in Tamil Nadu - both members of the INDIA alliance - seem to have initiated an assessment of their positioning vis-a-vis the political landscape that will take shape post-June 4.

The Congress' Bengal boss, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, on Thursday weighed in on the 'is she, isn't she' debate over Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's membership of the INDIA opposition bloc.

All isn't smooth sailing for the INDIA bloc because subplots have emerged, not only in states where there are no seat-share deals - like Kerala and Bengal - but in states where there are.

With just days to go for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, it seems increasingly likely that many alliance partners will field candidates against each other. Friendly contests and strategic manoeuvres continue to shape the political landscape in India.

The TMC's decision came in the wake of visible friction with the Congress, which extended from confrontations over the slow pace of seat-sharing talks to Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's persistent personal attacks against Mamata.

As the cracks within the INDIA bloc became more predominant following the Trinamool Congress' announcement of candidates for all 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav pointed out that Mamata Banerjee's party did not adher

Even as the Trinamool Congress has decided to contest all 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, the Congress on Sunday said doors are still open for an alliance with the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC for the upcoming general polls.

Confidence in the INDIA bloc took a hit by close of voting after six Congress MLAs in Himachal Pradesh and seven Samajwadi Party lawmakers in Uttar Pradesh cross-voted in the February 27 Rajya Sabha election.

The joy in the INDIA bloc over seat-sharing breakthroughs may prove to be short-lived, with the Trinamool Congress reiterating that it will contest all 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal.

The AAP and the Congress have agreed seat-sharing deals for Delhi, Gujarat, Goa, Chandigarh, and Haryana ahead of the Lok Sabha election, sources said, in signs the struggling INDIA bloc - formed last year to defeat the ruling BJP.

A day after she accused the Congress and the Left of colluding in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee today trained her guns at Centre, stating that her Trinamool Congress (TMC) will "capture" Delhi and bring all regional parties under one umbrella.
