West Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on May 16 claimed that TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee is now endorsing the Opposition INDIA bloc recognising its growing momentum and aiming to maintain her relevance in national politics.
Mr. Chowdhury's remark comes a day after Ms. Banerjee's announcement that her party will extend support to the Opposition INDIA bloc from outside to form the government at the Centre.
Mr. Chowdhury termed Ms. Banerjee as an "opportunist politician" who altered her stance after realising the changing political landscape.
