Will fight with Left, Congress at the national level against BJP: Mamata Banerjee

New Delhi, Feb 13 (IBNS): West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said he party would fight together with the Congress and the Left at the national level against the BJP.

"We will fight together with the Congress and the Left at the national level, let us all united together against the Modi government," said Mamata, whose party ended three-and-a-half decades of Left rule in West Bengal.

Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and A. Raja visited the venue of the Save Democracy rally at Jantar Mantar. The Opposition rally was hosted by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. However, when Mamata reached the venue after fulfilling her commitments at Parliament, the two had left.

Speaking at the rally, Mamata said: "Come let us form a United India. I am not scared of anyone...am used to fighting."

"The condition in our country is worse than emergency," she said.

Mamata had called off her dharna in Kolkata earlier this month over the standoff between the Kolkata police chief Rajeev Kumar and the CBI and said she, along with other Opposition leaders, would take up the issue in Delhi.

“Modi government uses surveillance on everybody, against its own officers too... They send CBI to threaten my police. I haven’t seen a government stoop so low,” Mamata said today.

The fight against the BJP's might is witnessing unlikely friendships such as the AAP and Congress and Chandrababu Naidu's TDP and the Congress.
