Didi has national ambitions


Taking a dig at the BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi over his ‘Chai pe Charcha’ initiative, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjeeon said her party doesn’t believe in sitting at a tea shop just before elections. Addressing her party workers, she said the Trinamool Congress’s fight was against the BJP, Congress and CPM in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.



Claiming that unlike the BJP, her party was always close to the people, the CM said, “I think that instead of sitting in a concrete jungle, it is better to be on the streets because one can get information about the people.” Mamata said she wanted to see her party at the national level because the challenge for her was to restore the pride of Bengal outside the state. She, however, added, “I am not going anywhere from Bengal.”

“We will have to fight and win against the CPM, Congress and BJP. We want Delhi and all other states to take pride in us,” she said, adding that the party was also targeting UP, Bihar, Haryana, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Assam.
