INDIA backing Mamata is a show of no confidence for Rahul. Congress must accept or become history
INDIA leaders backing Mamata Banerjee’s claim for leadership is show of no confidence in Rahul Gandhi. Congress calling it an attempt to save Adani is the height of political arrogance. Congress needs allies for survival, not vice versa. Unless it accepts this, INDIA will be history and Congress a relic.
