Kolkata: Hitting back
at the Trinamool Congress for alleging it was colluding with the
Marxists, the West Bengal state Congress leadership Wednesday
termed its alliance partner as the 'B-team' of Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) and the Left.
It also accused the Trinamool of constantly playing spoilsport to
various policies of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance.
"We are being constantly blamed as the B-team of the CPI-M. But it
is Trinamool which has been on the same boat with BJP on the issue
of FDI in retail. They (Trinamool) along with BJP and the Left had
opposed the FDI in retail, although they are our alliance partner.
In the case of Lokpal bill also, Trinamool MPs in Rajya Sabha took
the same tone as that of CPI-M MP Sitaram Yechury," said Deepa
Dasmunsi, Congress MP.
"After so many instances why can't we call them B-team of Left and
BJP when on each and every issue they are opposing the Congress at
the centre? They are the B-team of CPI-M and Left," said Dasmunsi.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had Tuesday accused the
Congress of colluding with the Communists to hurt her Trinamool
Congress.
Manas Bhuniya, state irrigation minister and senior Congress
leader, echoing Dasmunsi said: "Why are they always criticizing us
by saying that we are the B-team of CPI-M if we don't agree with
them on certain issues?"
The state congress leadership was speaking at a rally organized to
protest against the "inaction" on the part of the state government
to take care of farmers who said they were not getting proper
price for their agricultural produce.
The Congress-Trinamool ties both in the state and at the centre
have remained uneasy since Banerjee joined the UPA after the 2009
Lok Sabha election.
She has bitterly opposed and blocked some of the key policies and
bills of the UPA government, including the anti-corruption Lokpal
bill.
Banerjee also raised objections to the proposed foreign direct
investment in multi-brand retail, forcing the government to put
the move on hold.
