Political Row: Aiyar Tells Rahul to Step Aside, Backs Mamata as INDIA Bloc Chief

Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has publicly advised Rahul Gandhi, cautioning that the opposition’s INDIA bloc could weaken or even collapse without the support of Mamata Banerjee. Aiyar emphasized that Mamata Banerjee’s role is crucial for maintaining unity within the alliance. He reportedly suggested that without her participation, the INDIA bloc may struggle to remain cohesive and effective against the ruling party. The veteran Congress leader also remarked that Rahul Gandhi may not have sufficient time to personally manage the complexities of alliance politics. He proposed that leadership responsibilities within the bloc should be entrusted to senior leaders from smaller allied parties to ensure better coordination and collective decision-making. His comments come at a time when opposition unity remains a key factor in shaping the political landscape ahead of upcoming elections. The remarks are likely to spark fresh debate within the Congress and among INDIA bloc partners regarding leadership structure and alliance strategy.
