Mamata trying to become a power centre: Buddhadeb

Alleging that Mamata Banerjee is trying to be a power centre in national politics, CPI(M) Politburo member Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today termed her Modi bashing as a mask to fool the minorities of the state before the elections.

Bhattacharjee said Banerjee was trying to become a power centre in Delhi in order to be in close proximity with the party in power. "Federal Front is a non-starter, it has not even started and will not start either. She doesn't believe in any front. She doesn't even believe in her own party. She is trying to gather a few seats and act as a power centre in Delhi. This trend is very dangerous for the country,"
 
Bhattacharjee said in an interview to a Bengali news channel. Bhattacharjee alleged Mamata's recent bashing of BJP and Narendra Modi at various rallies was a ploy to fool the minorities before the polls.
