West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday expressed gratitude to leaders who backed her for a leadership role within the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc.

Addressing a gathering in Purba Medinipur, the TMC chief extended her good wishes to the leaders and their respective parties.

“I am indebted to everyone for the respect they have shown me. I pray for their good health. I want them, as well as their party, to stay well. I also want INDIA to stay well,” Banerjee was quoted as saying by an agency.

Last week, Banerjee had expressed her dissatisfaction with the functioning of the INDIA bloc and signalled her intent to take charge of the alliance, if given a chance.

NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar and former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav openly backed Mamata Banerjee for her bid to lead the INDIA bloc.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
