On Saturday, Sivasagar MLA and Raijor Dal president Akhil Gogoi said that he wants West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who has been trying to form an opposition alliance against the BJP, as the next Prime Minister of the country.
Yes, I have got an offer from TMC and I am in talks with the high command of the party. Recently, I went to Kolkata and I had a detailed discussion with them. They want me to become Assam TMC president. Talks are on and will soon decide what to do. We are considering all aspects,” Gogoi told
“We love Mamata Banerjee because she is fighting a communal fascist party. Mamata di is fighting for a federal structure. These factors are true. We want to see her as the next prime minister. We want a regional party federation and Mamata Banerjee should be the prime minister candidate. We are trying for a regional federation. Federalism is in crisis. We will sit after 3 months and will move forward.” Gogoi further added.
Emphasising the need for forming a unified Opposition, he said, “One thing is sure, we have to fight together for the 2024 and 2026 polls. Prashant Kishore is also there and we hope together we can oust the Central government.”
