NEW DELHI: With Mamata Banerjee powering the Trinamool Congress to a landslide victory in West Bengal overcoming 10 years of anti-incumbency, a full-throttle BJP campaign and a rebellious former lieutenant, she has become the natural leader to guide the Opposition s politics against the BJP in the coming days, some leaders said Sunday.
The TMC s victory in the keenly, and at times acrimoniously, fought elections in the state comes barely a month after Banerjee wrote to Opposition leaders urging them to unite against the BJP.
The TMC s success in many ways is being seen as a victory of the non-saffron parties whose leaders were quick to congratulate her, even though she trailed her former lieutenant, but now BJP leader, Suvendu Adhikari, in Nandigram.
