Hours after rejection of the no-confidence motion moved by her party, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee criticised political parties which did not support the cause ‘citing various excuses’ and claimed the ‘saviours of the government’ had been exposed.

“Today, you have seen that according to our commitment to the people of the country, AITMC members of Parliament have moved the no-confidence motion against the UPA government on the opening day of the Session,” Banerjee wrote on Facebook. “We knew our limitation was the strength and, ultimately, that is why the motion was rejected,” Banerjee said.

“But we thought other members who are so vociferous against FDI in retail and other sectors, and various other anti-people decisions of the UPA Government, would join the no-trust move against the Government,” she said in her post, without naming any particular political outfit.
