NEW DELHI: Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee has ignited a political controversy after stating that the Opposition needs to fight on the ground rather than confining its efforts to media or social media platforms, citing electoral defeats in Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra and Bihar.
Following his remarks, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a sharp attack on Opposition parties, many of whom had earlier projected unity under an alliance during the Lok Sabha elections.
The BJP claimed that political parties are now seeking to distance themselves from the Congress, asserting that the grand old party has turned into a “liability” for its allies.
