BJP’s Sambit Patra On Mamata Banerjee Being Projected As INDIA Bloc Head
“Samajwadi Party does not respect Rahul Gandhi and says that they do not consider him or Malliakarjun Kharge as the leader of INDIA bloc. The Trinamool has spoken about INDI bloc’s strike rate under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership. Some leaders have talked about projecting Mamata (Banerjee) ji as the leader of INDIA bloc. Is Rahul Gandhi still holding to INDI alliance or he is not in the capacity of heading INDIA alliance?” asks BJP’s Sambit Patra
“It is unfortunate that the Opposition is not letting the Parliament function. It is not dignified that they come wearing jackets and masks at times. I think they are mistaken in their understanding of democracy. It was surprising to see Rahul Gandhi recording people wearing masks. This is not how a Leader of Opposition behaves. Rahul Gandhi ji doesn’t know how to behave like LoP. This is not a fashion show going on in the Parliament,” says BJP’s Sambit Patra.
