Mamata spurns Cong overtures

The statement of Banerjee, now an ally of BJP, came shortly after the Congress spokesman Mani Shankar Aiyar seemed to approve Dasmunshi8217;s statement by saying that the WBPCC Working President had made the statement with a quot;full sense of responsibilityquot;.

She had a dig at the state Congressmen saying quot;they cannot even file proper nominations and ask everyone to fight the BJP. They had criticised me when I said BJP cannot be considered untouchablequot;.

On her attending a meeting of Loktantrik Congress in Lucknow yesterday, the Trinamool leader said she was trying to form a joint platform withall those who had left Congress and had floated new parties. She said she would visit Imphal in december to attend the first anniversary of Manipur Congress.
