A day after she accused the Congress and the Left of colluding in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee today trained her guns at Centre, stating that her Trinamool Congress (TMC) will “capture” Delhi and bring all regional parties under one umbrella after the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. 

Ms Banerjee, addressing a rally, stressed her party’s commitment to the core values of “Maa, Mati, Manush” (Mother, Land, People), claiming that the TMC aims to win Bengal and extend its influence to the national capital. She underlined her vision of uniting regional parties post-election, hinting at a potential shift from the INDIA bloc Opposition alliance which includes the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), among others.

“If the people are with us, then we promise, we will win from Bengal and then capture Delhi. After the election we will do this by taking all the regional parties together,” Chief Minister Banerjee said. 

Ms Banerjee also raised concerns about the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), claiming that these initiatives are aimed at isolating voters. She cautioned the public not to trust these political plans and accused the BJP of using such measures to manipulate elections.
