Margaret Alva, the joint opposition candidate running for Vice President, has criticised the Trinamool Congress's decision to abstain from voting in the election. Mr Alva in a tweet reminded West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's party that the Vice Presidential election "isn't the time for whataboutery, ego or anger". The TMC's decision to abstain from voting in the VP election is disappointing. This isn't the time for 'whataboutery', ego or anger. This is the time for courage, leadership & unity. I believe, @MamataOfficial , who is the epitome of courage, will stand with the opposition.

The ruling BJP's Vice President candidate is Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, and Ms Banerjee had met with him and BJP's northeast strategist and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently.
