The decision of the higher in Trinamool continues to stay away from the last stage of the Yatra in Patna, which is considered a show of the power of opposition parties, assumes the main political significance. Sources in the party say that the Congress Trinamool does not want to be seen in a political campaign with a congress side, especially if the elections are planned in the West Bengal in 2026.
