The Trinamool Congress's Pavan Verma said when the opposition is not united, it's an advantage for the BJP. However, when questioned on the tactics used by the Trinamool in its push to become the main opposition face in 2024, he acknowledged the "friction" created due to the "void created by the relentless decline of the Congress - the principal opposition party." "Congress must lead, but it refuses to reinvent itself," he said.
