Mamata working as BJP's agent with federal front idea: Adhir

The West Bengal Congress today slammed the ruling Trinamool Congress in the state, describing its supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as "an agent of the BJP" with her idea of a federal front.

"Mamata Banerjee is working as an agent of the BJP in national politics with her federal front idea, which in turn will weaken the opposition against the ruling BJP at the Centre," Congress MP and WBPCC president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said at a 'Meet-The-Press' event here.

Banerjee is also playing the role of a "promoter of the saffron party" to "negate the Opposition Congress and the Left parties," Chowdhury alleged and added that during her rule, hundreds of RSS 'shakhas' were opened and thriving in Bengal.

Citing her political equation with the BJP in the past, he said, "The TMC has turned into a 'B' team of the BJP, as the political DNA of both the parties is same."
Chowdhury condemned the chief minister for the role of her government in the upcoming panchayat election. "Banerjee has turned the panchayat election as well as democracy and people's constitutional rights into a farce."
