Why did Mamata Banerjee hint at going solo for the Lok Sabha election

Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal and leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) party, hinted at going solo for the Lok Sabha election during a party meet.
One reason for this hint could be the increasing challenges faced by the TMC in recent times. The party has been facing resistance from other political parties as well as the central government, which has increased the possibility of electoral alliances becoming difficult.
Mamata Banerjee has always projected herself as a strong and independent leader, and going solo in the Lok Sabha election would allow her to have complete control over her party's strategies and decision-making.
Another reason for the hint may be the desire to focus solely on West Bengal and strengthen the party's position in the state. Going solo would free the TMC from the constraints and demands of potential alliances, enabling it to concentrate on consolidating its support base and winning a majority of seats in the state.
Furthermore, Mamata Banerjee may believe that going solo would allow her to project a distinct identity for her party and differentiate it from other national level parties. This could help her in attracting voters who are looking for an alternative to the major national parties.
However, it is important to note that these are speculations and interpretations of Mamata Banerjee's hint, and only time will reveal the actual strategy of the TMC in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
