The Trinamool Congress’s criticism of the Congress comes at a time of growing tensions between the two INDIA bloc allies. The Trinamool has distanced itself from Congress-led protests in Parliament over the Gautam Adani bribery case. Additionally, a leadership struggle within the opposition camp, sparked by Mamata Banerjee’s interest in leading the INDIA bloc, has further strained their relationship.TMC’s comment comes days after Omar Abdullah’s “cannot be a problem only when you lose elections” dig at Congress. Abdullah’s National Conference is part of the INDIA bloc and is in an alliance with the Congress in J&K.”When you get a hundred plus members of Parliament using the same EVMs, and you celebrate that as sort of a victory for your party, you can’t then a few months later turn around and say…we don’t like these EVMs because now the election results aren’t going the way we would like them to,” Abdullah told PTI in an interview on Friday.The Congress swiftly responded to Abdullah, pointing out that it was the Samajwadi Party, NCP (SP), and Shiv Sena (UBT) who had raised concerns about EVMs.”Please check your facts. The Congress CWC (Congress Working Committee) resolution clearly addresses the ECI only. Why this approach towards our partners after being Chief Minister?” Congress MP Manickam Tagore posted on X.
