CPI(M) shares Rahul Gandhi's views on TMC and BJP: Party state secretary

Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi in an election rally on Saturday accused him of trying to kill democracy

Lashing out at the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government for allegedly ushering in a reign of terror in West Bengal, Leader of Opposition and CPI(M) State Secretary Surya Kanta Mishra on Saturday said his party shared the views of Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on TMC and Bharatiya Janata Party.

"We are also saying the same thing what he has said. The TMC in last five years has established a reign of terror in Bengal. They have destroyed everything that the Left had established in Bengal. Its high time that this government be ousted and a new government of Left, secular and democratic forces comes to power," Mishra told reporters when asked to react on Gandhi's comment.

Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi in an election campaign on Saturday accused him of trying to kill democracy in the country and claimed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was doing the same in West Bengal.
