Congress not to quit ministry in West Bengal

Bhattacharya said.

Referring to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s outburst that the Congress was free to quit,Bhattacharya said “what she has said is very clear to us. We are not here at anyone’s mercy.”

Stating that the Congress and Trinamool Congress had fought the Assembly elections together and the latter benefited from it,the WBPCC chief said “the Trinamool Congress has also got thousands of Congress votes in seats where it won.”

“We are in the ministry to fulfil the desires of the people who voted for us and on direction of our party High Command,” he said.

“We will remain in the ministry as long as the people desires,” he said.
