A rally of India Alliance was being held in Delhi against the arrest of CM Arvind Kejriwal. Top leaders of India Alliance were present in this rally, but West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee kept distance from the India Alliance rally, but TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien attended this meeting. Mamata Banerjee held a meeting in support of TMC candidate from Krishnanagar, Mahua Moitra and claimed that it was she who had formed the India alliance. She gave the name, but said on the issue of alliance that she would take a decision after the elections.
Mamta Banerjee said, “I formed the India Alliance at the all India level. My name has also been given. I will see after the vote. The Chief Minister complained, but CPM-Congress-BJP are fighting against us in Bengal. Voting for CPM means voting for BJP. The Trinamool supremo made it clear on this day why one should vote for Trinamool and not the opposition.

He said, “We are fighting alone.” I have heard that CPM is fighting for Congress India alliance. And there is no alliance here. There is a lot of mess here.” He once again said that Trinamool will fight alone in Bengal. Speaking on Kejriwal’s arrest, Mamata said, ‘Arvind has been detained. Has he been able to stop his work?”
Then he himself said, “Why vote for Trinamool? Gave you Lakshmi Bhandar.. you will get whole life. Even if the bank is closed on April 1, you will get money. This is not the end.” The Chief Minister today sought votes in support of Mahua Moitra and said, “Mahua will give her a befitting reply.” Even after winning, you chased him away with so much courage. So he has to win and send him back to succeed.”

On the other hand, the opposition alliance ‘Bharat’ once again appeared united in Sunday’s Ramlila Maidan in protest against the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal. In the ‘Save Democracy’ program, opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Sitaram Yechury, Tejashwi Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav attacked BJP.
TMC’s Rajya Sabha leader Derek O’Brien addressed the gathering as Trinamool’s ambassador. Pointing towards two empty chairs on the stage, he said, “We have left two seats vacant. Honorable Kejriwal and Honorable Soren, you are with us. Attacking BJP, he said, ‘Modi’s guarantee in terms of employment, inflation, security of government institutions is actually zero warranty.’
