TIL Desk/National/Kolkata/ West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has reached out to opposition Congress and CPI(M) to join her fight against the BJP in the state but the two parties rejected her appeal saying her policies are responsible for the BJP’s growth.
Speaking during the debate on the governor’s address in the state assembly, she said the BJP is trying to run a parallel government in the state and parties like the Congress and the CPI(M) should join hands with the TMC to fight against it.
“The people of the state are witnessing in Bhatpara what happens if you vote for the BJP. I feel all of us (TMC, Congress and CPI-M) should come together in the fight against the BJP. It doesn’t mean we have to join hands politically. But on common issues at the state and the national levels, we can come together,” she said.
