Mamata Banerjee said the TMC will be in a “wait and watch” mode and she would be happy if the “weak and unstable” BJP-led NDA government is kicked out of power.

The West Bengal Chief Minister said the TMC will be in a “wait and watch” mode and she would be happy if the “weak and unstable” BJP-led NDA government is kicked out of power.

Today INDIA bloc may not have staked a claim to form the government, but that doesn’t mean tomorrow it won’t stake a claim.
Let’s wa.
