Mukul Roy alleged CM Mamata deviated from her fight against CPI-M

Kolkata, March 02: Lashing out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for sending birthday greetings to her predecessor Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and her comments on Tripura elections, BJP leader Mukul Roy on Friday accused her of making a volte-face and deveiating from her fight against the Leftists.

"At this moment, if there is any party in India which is capable of fighting the CPI-M, that is the Bharatiya Janata Party. Because Mamata has deviated from her fight (against the CPI-M). Mamata is saying it would be good if the CPI-M wins (in Tripura)," said Roy.

Banerjee had told Communist Party of India-Marxist lawmakers this week in the Assembly that she would have been happy "in a greater cause had they won the Tripura Assembly polls, but that is not to be".
