TMC eyes major role in next central govt formation

Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday made it clear that its aim is to play a major role in the formation of central government in 2019 and vowed not to stop despite the “vendetta politics”, after its leaders faced renewed heat over chit fund scams.

At the party’s 19th Foundation Day programme here, its vice president Mukul Roy said the party will work to unite the Opposition forces for the next general election.

The party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been opposing demonetisation.  “As our party and our supremo Mamata Banerjee opposed the anti-people decision of demonetisation, vendetta politics will intensify in days to come.

But that can’t stop the TMC from opposing anti-people decisions,” Roy said. “We will not stop until and unless we play a decisive role in national politics in days to come,” he said.
