West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent remarks over leading the opposition INDIA bloc have sparked a flurry of reactions from allies within the coalition.
Speaking to a news channel on Friday, Ms Banerjee expressed frustration about the alliance's leadership and coordination. "I had formed the INDIA bloc, now it is up to those leading the front to manage it. If they can't run the show, what can I do? I would just say that everyone needs to be taken along," she said.
When asked why she herself hadn't taken charge of the bloc, Ms Banerjee stated, "If given the opportunity I would ensure its smooth functioning. I don't want to go outside West Bengal, but I can run it from here."
