West Bengal Congress president Adhir Chowdhury recently stated that an anti-BJP front in the country “can succeed only under party president Rahul Gandhi's leadership.”

He took a dig at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's proposal of putting up a “one-to-one” fight against the BJP and said the Congress did not need any advice from her and alleged that Banerjee was trying to project herself as a pan-India leader.

He stated, “She is advising the Congress on what to do and what not to. Who has appointed her as an adviser to the Congress? If you are serious about fighting the communal forces, you have to fight under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.”
