anti-BJP coalition

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee indicated on July 28 that BJD and YSRCP, which were skeptical of taking a side, may join the anti-BJP coalition ahead of the 2024 elections. "The BJP may be big in size, but the Opposition will be stronger from the political angle," she said. Though Banerjee avoided the question of leadership in the opposition front, she recognized the importance of Congress in it.
