CM Mamata Banerjee hits out at BJP, says it is self-centred

Speaking at a convention of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers in Kolkata, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday took a dig at the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) saying, “CPI (M) and BJP belong to the same team…BJP’s ideology is to be self-centred…Our compulsion is to obey the Constitution. But today history, geography, and politics are being forgotten; education and culture are being changed.”

I recall our struggles through the years & the role we have played in empowering people, fighting injustice and inspiring hope. I heartily congratulate everyone for believing in the power of MAA, MAATI, MANUSH,”
