Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], March 8 (ANI): After West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee gave a clarion call to the Opposition to get united to oust the Bharatiya Janata Party government in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar on Tuesday said that there is no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking to ANI, BJP state president said, "Such a big target isn't good for their (TMC's) health. Her (Mamata Banerjee) winning the state Assembly elections doesn't mean she will win the Lok Sabha elections, as well. We will defeat them."
