BJP leaders criticise Mamata-Congress bonhomie
BJP leaders, including West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and Smriti Irani, have intensified their criticism of the growing political cooperation between the Trinamool Congress and the Congress party. The BJP accuses the opposition alliance of fostering anarchy and protecting infiltrators, while the Congress party continues to advocate for a unified opposition front.
Why it matters
