Trinamool ignites buzz about Mamata vs Modi in Varanasi. What it means

• As Mamata Banerjee faces a tough battle in the ongoing Bengal polls, her party has now thrown a challenge to PM Modi for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

The TMC’s dare to PM Modi also comes days after the West Bengal Chief Minister had written to opposition party leaders on the need to join hands to stop the Modi juggernaut. So will Mamata Banerjee be the face of the anti-Modi front in 2024? Watch this episode of Take 5 where Hindustan Times’ Aditi Prasad decodes the implications of the TMC’s Varanasi challenge to the Prime Minister.
