"Mamata Banerjee Close To Me": Rahul Gandhi Downplays Congress Leader's Jab | Read

Congress's Rahul Gandhi today declared that he is "very close" to Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and state Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's sharp remarks against the Trinamool Congress chief on seat-sharing talks "won't matter". The seat negotiation with the Trinamool Congress is on track, he added. "The negotiation's results will come out, I will not comment on it. But Mamata Banerjee is very close to me and our party," he told reporters in Assam, through which his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is currently passing. "Yes, sometimes, Congress and Trinamool Congress leaders criticise each other's party. But they are natural things, it happens. But they are not going to disrupt the relations between the Congress and the TMC," he added.
