LF has been sold to BJP: Mamata

Kolkata: Criticising the move of Left Front calling a six-hour bandh on Friday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has once again attacked the party, saying that it has been sold to BJP.

Banerjee took a dig at the Left, saying that from the next time they will call bandh at midnight and stated it to be "bandh freedom at midnight".

While leaving Nabanna on Thursday evening, the Chief Minister said: "Can there be any bandh from 6 am to 12 noon? Next they will give a call for a bandh from midnight to 4 am and it will be observed in sleep. This is their (CPI-M) future and they have no capability to work in the grassroot level. 'Harmads' of CPI-M have now become the 'ostads' of BJP. The party has been sold to BJP. So it is not right to expect anything from them."

She maintained: "Offices open at 10 am...they have called bandh at such a time that it is nothing but drama. Such drama will not be tolerated. They have caused enough damage to the state by giving call for bandhs."

"The bandh will become 100 percent successful if they give a call for the same at midnight," the Chief Minister said.
