BJP West Bengal minister Dilip Ghosh said Mamata Banerjee is being forced to attend an INDIA bloc meeting despite the alliance being non-existent [1].

These allegations target the stability of the opposition coalition and the internal cohesion of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). If the claims of party collapse are accurate, it could signal a shift in the political leverage of the West Bengal chief minister within national alliances.

Ghosh said that the alliance is non-existent [1]. He said Banerjee previously avoided such meetings but is now compelled to participate [2].

The BJP leader attributed this shift to the TMC's recent electoral losses and a lack of internal loyalty. He said Banerjee's own party MLAs and MPs are not with her [1].

Ghosh said that no MLA, MP, or councillor remains active within the party, claiming they do not even attend their respective offices [1]. According to Ghosh, these factors have left the party collapsed [1].

The comments come amid ongoing political tensions in Kolkata, where the BJP continues to challenge the TMC's grip on regional power. Ghosh said the current state of the TMC has left Banerjee with few options but to seek support from the INDIA bloc [2].

“"The alliance is non‑existent."”

This rhetoric reflects the strategic effort by the BJP to frame the INDIA bloc as a fragile coalition of convenience rather than a unified front. By claiming that Banerjee is isolated within her own party, Ghosh is attempting to undermine her authority both in West Bengal and as a key player in the national opposition strategy.
