Reacting to Mamta Banerjee’s statement, Prashant Kishor, political analyst and founder of Jan Suraaj Party, said that Mamta Banerjee is a senior leader and the INDIA coalition knows who will lead them as it is the coalition’s internal matter.” INDIA bloc, so far, is not being led by a person or party. Congress is leading the alliance by default since it is the largest party” he added.On the other hand, senior JD(U) leader K C Tyagi said that the regional leaders are not happy with Rahul Gandhi’s leadership and there is also a dispute regarding leadership in the ‘INDIA’ bloc.While responding to a question on the latest friction in the ‘INDIA’ bloc involving Mamta Banerjee’s statement, Tyagi said, “That’s why JD(U) and Nitish Kumar came out of the alliance. We knew about its future that it can’t work together.”A political analyst Pramod Kumar said that RJD would not invite the ire of the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by backing Mamta Banerjee to head the Opposition alliance at the national level in the wake of upcoming assembly elections in the state. “TMC has no support base in Bihar. In that case, RJD will suffer a lot in the assembly polls in the state due next year,” he asserted.
