Amid disruptions and repeated adjournments in both Houses of Parliament, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee Wednesday blamed both BJP and Congress for disrupting the proceedings.

Speaking to The Indian Express, TMC’s Serampore MP Kalyan Banerjee said, “Whenever the BJP wants to disrupt the House it does so, whenever Congress wants to disrupt the House it does so. Everyday this is happening. BJP MPs such as Nishikant Dubey and others start shouting and the House is adjourned. Then, Congress MPs ask one or two questions and then start shouting and the House is adjourned. But there are so many political parties in Parliament.”

With the Congress raising the bribery allegations against industrialist Gautam Adani inside and outside Parliament, Banerjee said, “We have come here to do some business. The Adani issue is not the only issue… there are so many issues. Congress is stuck with Adani and BJP is stuck with George Soros. Does it mean that all other issues will go away?”

Banerjee’s comments also come at a time when TMC supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed interest in leading the INDIA bloc, following which parties such as the RJD and the Shiv Sena UBT have backed her.
