The comments came after CM Mamata Banerjee reportedly said that "nobody will be able to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi, if Rahul Gandhi is the face of the Opposition", mentioned NDTV in its report citing sources.
It reported that CM Banerjee told party workers that Rahul Gandhi is PM Modi's "biggest TRP". She alleged that the BJP was not letting Parliament function as they want Rahul Gandhi to "be the leader... The BJP is keen on making Rahul Gandhi a hero," reported NDTV citing sources.
According to the report, while addressing party workers in Murshidabad virtually from Kolkata, she said, "It is the Congress that bows before the BJP. Congress, CPM and BJP are instigating minorities against the Trinamool."
The comment comes at a time when a crack was fairly visible in the opposition unity during the ongoing Parliament session when the parties, including TMC, held protests separately against the Centre on the same issue.
