Mamata Banerjee has dealt a major blow to the Congress' drive to lead opposition unity. In fact, the TMC has refused to attend a meeting convened by Congress on issues including agriculture law and inflation ahead of the winter session of Parliament. You must be aware that the leader of the opposition Mallikarjun Kharge had convened a meeting of all opposition parties on Monday. However, Mamata Banerjee has distanced herself from the meeting.

One of the reasons is said to be the upcoming assembly elections in Goa, where the TMC has expressed its intention to strike a chord against the BJP Congress. Sources close to the TMC said that the Goa unit of the party wants the TMC to keep a distance from the Congress-led opposition meeting as the TMC BJP is in the fray against the Congress in Goa. On the other hand, the unity of opposition parties in Parliament is going to be maintained. It is also being said that the TMC will not attend the meeting of opposition parties scheduled for the morning.

You must be aware that Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has convened a meeting of opposition parties in his chamber on Monday morning. The meeting is aimed at agreeing on a strategy to corner the government on various issues during the winter session of Parliament. Amidst all this, a veteran Congress leader has alleged that the TMC is helping the BJP. Now, the TMC's departure from the meeting of opposition parties convened by Congress could harm the opposition unity. This move of the TMC may also motivate the Samajwadi Party, AAP not to attend the meeting, which is not part of the UPA.
