His remarks come amidst support for Mamata from NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, highlighting the growing debate over leadership within the coalition.

Speaking to the media in Kolkata on Sunday, Tejashwi clarified that the issue of leadership had not yet been discussed formally. "There have been no talks on this matter so far," he said. "Such decisions will be made collectively by senior leaders of all alliance partners. I don't believe there will be objections to the names of prominent leaders leading the alliance."
