Its Congress vs TMC in Meghalaya; BJP says they are fighting for 2nd position

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi trained his gun on the Trinamool Congress (TMC) Wednesday at a poll rally in Meghalaya, accusing the Mamata Banerjee-led party of helping the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).  “You know the history of the TMC. You know the violence that happens in Bengal. You know about the scams. The Saradha scam took place. They came to Goa and spent huge amounts of money. The idea was to help the BJP. In Meghalaya, too, the TMC’s idea is to help BJP,” Rahul told a Congress rally in Shillong.

The Trinamool Congress has not taken Rahul Gandhi's criticism lying down. Responding to the Congress leader's attack, Abhishek Banerjee, senior TMC leader, and Mamata Banerjee's nephew, tweeted that Congress has failed to resist BJP and that their irrelevance, incompetence, and insecurity have put them in a state of delirium. 

"I urge Rahul Gandhi to revisit the politics of vanity instead of attacking us. Our growth isn't driven by money. It's people love that propels us." "By the same logic, when Congress contested 92 seats in Bengal Elections in 2021, was their idea to help the BJP? Rahul Gandhi's statements against AITCofficial is pretty rich, especially coming from a party that has lost 40 out of the last 45 Assembly Elections in India," Abhishek Banerjee said in a two-part tweet.

Meanwhile, BJP took a dig at both the parties with Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar saying: "In Meghalaya, it is fixed who will be number 1, TMC and Congress are fighting for the second position".
