00:00India Block Alliance partners meeting Mahmouda Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav of the Samajwadi party meeting Mahmouda Banerjee at her Kalighart residence.
00:08She's not the Chief Minister anymore, at least as per the election results.
00:12However, even though Mahmouda Banerjee maintains, I have not lost, I will not resign.
00:17The first visual on your screen, Akhilesh Yadav with Abhishek Banerjee with a scarf, greeting, smiling, meeting Mahmouda Banerjee.
00:26Is this an interaction in solidarity? Because clearly this cannot be a winning victory pose.
00:31She has lost. Lost in how? Lost the state, lost Bhabanipur. Clearly looks she hasn't taken a lot of rest.
00:42That's Akhilesh Yadav to meet Mahmouda Banerjee.
00:46Indrajit Kundu joins me for the latest on that.
00:49Indrajit, just like she had said in that press conference a few days ago, Mahmouda Banerjee has support from the
00:54India Block Alliance partners.
00:55But Akhilesh is the first. What does it mean, Indrajit? Why is he there? It's not like it's a winning
01:01streak.
01:03You know, as you just said, this is, you know, the opposition's solidarity.
01:08What we need is that after the whole debacle in West Bengal, it has created some sort of a coup
01:15for the fragmented India block.
01:18Because just before the elections, we saw Rahmouda Banerjee coming to West Bengal, attacking the Mahmouda Banerjee government,
01:24and, you know, attacking Mahmouda Banerjee for being corrupt.
01:28And then, soon after the elections, debacle, it was Korya Dhanji, Rahul Dhanji, Akhilesh Yadav, Arvin Kejira,
01:35everybody designed to, you know, speak to Mahmouda Banerjee.
01:38And now, Akhilesh Yadav is a man that needs to have the date.
01:42Mahmouda Banerjee's Kaligant residents meeting her.
01:45So, Mahmouda Banerjee has, in fact, set two days back at the press conference,
01:50and there is a process that has been put in more terms for a greater opposition unity
01:56and a fight against the election commission.
02:00Remember, the general powers have played a key role in gathering signatures on one of 100 MPs
02:06to file a motion of impeachment against T.E.C. Yanishtumar,
02:11which has never taken out, and there are lots of them.
02:15Mahmouda Banerjee, stay on with me, stay on with me,
02:17because that's the big news coming in.
02:18Akhilesh Yadav, one of the first leaders of the India Bloc Alliance Partners,
02:22meeting Mahmouda Banerjee.
02:23Remember what Mahmouda Banerjee had said,
02:25and we'll play out that clip as well in just a short while for you,
02:28because Mahmouda Banerjee in the press conference about two days ago had said,
02:31I have support of the India Bloc.
02:34I'm not going to disclose more.
02:36I cannot tell you more, but I do have the support.
02:39Now, interestingly, she added then after that,
02:42that I have not lost.
02:44I will not resign.
02:46I'm not going to go to the Lok Bhavan.
02:47So when M.K. Stalin was literally at the time visiting the governor's house,
02:52submitting his resignation, which was immediately accepted,
02:55meanwhile in Bengal, a completely different script was playing out.
