RJD chief Lalu Prasad Backs Mamata Banerjee case to lead INDIA bloc.......

RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has voiced his support for Mamata Banerjee to take on a leadership role within the INDIA bloc, a coalition of opposition parties. Yadav's endorsement comes amidst discussions within the alliance about identifying a prime ministerial face for the 2024 general elections. He emphasized the importance of moving forward with a capable leader like Banerjee, whose political acumen and ability to challenge the BJP are well-regarded.

This backing highlights ongoing debates within the INDIA bloc. Some senior leaders, including Yadav and Nitish Kumar, have expressed reservations about proposals to position Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge as the alliance's PM candidate, leading to visible discord during recent meetings.

Yadav's stance aligns with a push for inclusivity and stronger cohesion within the alliance, aiming to solidify their strategy against the ruling BJP. As deliberations continue, the INDIA bloc is working to resolve internal differences while preparing for a high-stakes electoral contest in 2024.
