editor0 CommentsIndia, Political, West Bengal,
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was unanimously chosen as the chairperson of its Parliamentary Party placing her in a pivotal position to coordinate with the other opposition parties. After TMC’s victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections in May this year, the party has been positioning itself as a unifier for all opposition parties, a role that the Congress as the single largest opposition party has been playing so far.
