Left Front chairman Biman Bose today criticised West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her claim that the BJP government is into "selective vendetta".
Bose also accused Banerjee of switching between BJP and Congress in past.
"She had congratulated the same person who was accused of Gujarat riots for winning the last election. We did not hear anything from her at the time when we were strongly opposing the Gujarat riots and raised about Rs 1 crore for relief," Bose said adding, people understand what this government is up to.
"In the past we had seen her banning major dailies including Ganashakti (CPI-M mouthpiece) from government libraries, but allowing those controlled by Ponzi companies. There had been reports of a meeting in Darjeeling with chit fund owners. Nothing is now hidden from the people of Bengal," he said.
The Left Front chairman said on November 24, the Front would meet to decide its next course of action and would raise its voice against the TMC government across the state.
