What makes you so confident that TMC can wrest power in Tripura from BJP in 2023? Congress must play its role well in taking everyone along. The opposition must unite in the Parliament over issues that adversely impact the people and electorally there is no denying that regional satraps are emerging as bigger factors for 2024 than national faces. What do you think should be the approach of Opposition parties ahead of the 2024 General Elections? But it is a fact that Mamata has defeated BJP thrice and against all odds. To comment more than this on this issue will be premature at this stage. Similarly, just because a leader is a chief Minister of one state does not mean he or she can’t be acceptable to the people of India as PM. Do you see Didi as the leader of the Opposition and not Sonia or Rahul Gandhi?Ī good party president of a national party, acceptable to all internally is not necessarily acceptable as a PM face to the nation. You recently said the country can defeat the Modi government in 2024 under Mamta’s leadership. On the other hand, people are not clear who is the prime minister face in Congress.

As of today the critical difference which will define the future of the two parties is that Didi is emerging as a leader with vision, gumption and huge political experience. What is the difference you see in Trinamool, compared to Congress? You left Congress despite being a prominent face of the party. In an interview with Sumir Karmakar of DH, the Rajya Sabha MP from Bengal now believes that Mamata Banerjee is emerging as a leader with a vision ahead of the general elections in 2024. Daughter of former Cabinet minister Santosh Mohan Dev, Sushmita Dev was a strong supporter of Rahul Gandhi’s leadership before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections but switched over to Trinamool Congress in August this year.
