Mamata invites opposition parties to attend TMC's mega rally in Kolkata

NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister, Mamata Banerjee on Friday, attacked the BJP and said that the TMC would ensure that the party doesn't win a single seat in Bengal.

Addressing a press conference, the TMC chief added that the tactics of the BJP would not work in Bengal.

The Bengal CM invited all the opposition parties for a mega rally scheduled to take place on January 19 in Kolkata.

"I'll invite both Congress and Mayawati for the rally on January 19. I've invited Kerala CM also. CPM constantly works against me, but I will invite them too. I appeal to all the opposition parties to come together," she said.

Reacting to the recent announcement of BSP chief Mayawati about going alone for the elections, Mamata said she couldn't comment on the stand taken by Mayawati about the Congress.

Commenting on the Centre's directive to the states to cut fuel prices, Mamata said, "We've already reduced fuel prices, but we have debts to repay. The Centre has hiked fuel prices, not us. I support Rahul Gandhi's comment 'the economy is already broken, and the government should immediately go'."
