In another sign that the Congress is getting cornered within the INDIA bloc, RJD founder and veteran politician Lalu Prasad Yadav today said Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee should lead the Opposition alliance and that the Congress's objection to this "means nothing".
"Congress's objection means nothing. We will support Mamata... Mamata Banerjee should be given the leadership (of the INDIA Bloc)," the veteran leader said when asked about Ms Banerjee's remarks on leading the INDIA bloc.
