After his Pahalgam delegation speech, Banerjee has not solely fastidiously cultivated his picture of the final secretary of the TMC but additionally made individuals sit up and take be aware.
Superseding Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Yusuf Pathan, Banerjee was chosen to make sure that he comes throughout as somebody who pushes the nationalism narrative. His speech on international land, the place he mentioned he would proceed his battle with the BJP again house however overseas he was the consultant of his nation, confirmed his unwavering help to the trigger at a difficult juncture.
Again house, Banerjee didn’t waste time and took the result in ask 5 questions of the federal government, together with the place the Pahalgam terrorists have been and why that they had not been nabbed but. The occasion is ready to make this an enormous situation in Parliament.
To be honest, Congress too has raised the difficulty earlier. Rahul Gandhi too had requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the federal government whether or not they had grovelled earlier than Donald Trump to succeed in a ceasefire with Pakistan—because the US President claimed.
Nonetheless, as Indians deal with yet one more grief within the aftermath of the Air India crash, Gandhi is off on a break.

Not simply this, an indecisive Nitish Kumar and a authorities in limbo are narratives that the Congress can push already. However, for this, the LOP must be round. Sadly, politics doesn’t permit the luxurious of time.
Banerjee is making certain that no time is wasted and has begun to crack the whip. Whereas he’ll at all times be overshadowed by his aunt Mamata Banerjee, he clearly desires to shed the ‘bhaipo’ tag. Within the case of Rahul Gandhi, many really feel that his surname overshadows him and camouflages his faults and misses.
