Kolkata: A day after Trinamool Congress Chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ruled out any possibility of alliance with the Congress for the 2024 Lok Sabha election in the State, its party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Derek O' Brien held Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury exclusively responsible for the alliance not working in the state.
Lashing out at the Congress State unit President, O'Brien alleged that Chowdhury is speaking the language of the BJP.

The Rajya Sabha MP said, "INDIA alliance has two main detractors: BJP and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. He speaks the language of the BJP. The three reasons for the alliance not working in Bengal: 1. Adhir Chowdhury 2. Adhir Chowdhury 3. Adhir Chowdhury."
This comes after Mamata Banerje's announcement that her Trinamool Congress (TMC) party will fight Lok Sabha polls alone in the state.
"I had no discussions with the Congress party. I have always said that in Bengal, we will fight alone. I am not concerned about what will be done in the country but we are a secular party and in Bengal, we alone will defeat the BJP," the TMC supremo had said. (with Agency inputs)
