No joining forces with Mamata: CM

Rejecting the Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Bannerjee8217;s call for a joint action plan against the railway bifurcation, West Bengal CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharya said: 8216;8216;It8217;s not clear what the TMC is trying to do8217;8217;.

His statement came when he was asked about the Trinamool8217;s invitation to convene an all-party meeting for a joint agitation.

Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress is starting its agitation from tomorrow with 48 dharnas at major stations.

Rejecting the Trinamool invitation, Buddha warned that the bandh called by the party on August 5 8216;8216;would create bitterness between West Bengal and Bihar.8217;8217;

8216;8216;The bandh will not serve any purpose,8217;8217; he said adding that 8216;8216;it would embitter Bengal-Bihar ties which we don8217;t want. And we8217;ll not support the bandh.8217;8217; He was referring to Bannerjee8217;s call for a united agitation on the issue.
