Congress Reacts To Mamata Banerjee's "What UPA? There's No UPA" Scorn

The Congress today underlined that it is time to show opposition unity, a day after Mamata Banerjee - looking to enlarge her role in the opposition - snubbed the grand old party.
"UPA. Without the Congress, UPA will be a body without a soul. Time to show opposition unity," tweeted Congress leader Kapil Sibal this morning in response to Bengal Chief Minister's "there is no UPA" comment after her meeting with Sharad Pawar in Mumbai.
The Trinamool Congress is pulling its weight to project Mamata Banerjee as the big opposition leader ever since her landslide victory in the Bengal polls in April-May.
The perception is reinforced by efforts to make Trinamool the next big national party after the Congress, with a steady stream of incoming leaders giving it a foothold in multiple states -- Goa, Meghalaya, Bihar and Haryana.
