West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today accused the CPI(M), the Congress and the BJP of "deliberately delaying" the panchayat election process in the state.
"The CPI(M), Congress and the BJP are three brothers who play one role in New Delhi and another in West Bengal. They are spreading canards and rumours, and mainly doing it to show their faces on television shows," she told reporters here.
The chief minister said the Congress and the CPI(M) must decide on their roles in West Bengal. "In Delhi, you request us to come together and here you talk to the BJP."
