Mamata Banerjee, who has been in power in West Bengal for one and a half decade, is now seeking help from the Congress and the Left parties in the war against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but all the parties are shunning her. The Congress, Communist Party of India and CPI (ML) (L) on Sunday rejected Trinamool Congress’ proposal to form a joint front against the Bharatiya Janata Party.

After losing the elections in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee released a video message on Saturday. He had appealed to all opposition parties, student organizations and NGOs to unite against BJP. He had said that all the anti-BJP parties can together form a platform. Mamata Banerjee also asked the Left and ultra-Left parties to unite in Bengal and Delhi. Mamata Banerjee would never have imagined the answer she received.

Who is rejecting Mamata’s appeal for unity?

It is not that only the Left parties are keeping distance from him. Even Congress no longer accepts Mamata Banerjee’s support. Congress has also accused Mamata Banerjee government of suppressing the people and termed it undemocratic.

Swapan Banerjee, CPI state secretary, said, ‘The question of going with Mamata does not arise because democracy was in danger under her rule.’

Mamata Banerjee not accepting defeat?
