IIE DIGITAL DESK ; Kolkata, June 8: Senior BJP leader and minister Dilip Ghosh launched a sharp attack on the opposition's INDIA alliance, claiming that the coalition has effectively ceased to exist. Speaking to reporters on Monday morning, Ghosh asserted that the alliance no longer has any real presence or political relevance.

Dilip Ghosh, "This INDIA alliance has no existence whatsoever. Earlier, Mamata Banerjee did not attend any of its meetings, but now she is being compelled to do so. Even the MLAs and MPs of her own party are no longer standing beside her. No MLA, MP, or councillor is active anymore; they do not even visit their party offices. Such is the condition of the Trinamool Congress that the moment it loses power, it has begun to crumble."

The remarks came ahead of a crucial meeting of the opposition bloc, officially known as the INDIA Alliance, which is scheduled to take place in Delhi on Monday. The gathering has drawn political attention as it is the first formal meeting of the opposition alliance in the last ten months and the first since the completion of Assembly elections in five states.

The upcoming meeting is expected to focus on the alliance's future strategy, coordination among opposition parties, and preparations for upcoming political battles. However, the BJP has used the occasion to question the unity and effectiveness of the coalition. Through his remarks, Dilip Ghosh suggested that internal divisions and a lack of active participation from key leaders have weakened the alliance considerably.

The comments are likely to intensify the ongoing political debate between the BJP and opposition parties, particularly in West Bengal, where political rivalries remain fierce. With opposition leaders gathering in Delhi after a long gap, attention will now be focused on whether the INDIA alliance can demonstrate renewed unity and political momentum in the months ahead.
