Mamata Banerjee thanks Mayawati for 'exposing' BJP
New Delhi, Mar 28 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday thanked BSP chief Mayawati for attacking the BJP-led government at the Centre.
She said BJP is 'scared' as all opposition leaders are working together.
"Thank you Mayawati Ji for your comments about Bengal. You have exposed the BJP govt. BJP govt is scared as we are all working together," Banerjee tweeted.
Mayawati reportedly accused Prime Minister Narendra Mod-led Centre of having different standards for West Bengal.
Banerjee, who is a strong proponent of a collective opposition at the national level, met leaders of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Shiv Sena, Samajwadi Party (SP), DMK in the parliament's central hall on Tuesday.
She has pitched in the united opposition by urging all parties to come together to defeat the BJP in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
The TMC supremo even urged all parties to support the political outfits which are dominant in respective states, a strategy Banerjee feels could uninstall the Modi government.
While asked about whether she would like to meet Congress Chairperson Sonia Gandhi during her four-day visit to Delhi, the WB CM said she will do once the veteran recovers from ailment.
In a later development reported by some newspapers, Sonia has expressed her wish to meet the TMC chief on Wednesday.
