PTI, NEW DELHI: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said that while the Congress and the Trinamool Congress will contest against each other in the state, they will fight together at the national level against the BJP.
The statement comes hours after Banerjee, upset with Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s attack on her over the Saradha chit fund case in the Lok Sabha, registered her displeasure with UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi in Parliament.
Sources said Gandhi, while trying to placate her, said, “We are accusing each other but we are friends,” to which the TMC chief responded: “I will remember.”
“Any fight with the Congress will remain in the state. At the national level, we will fight together, this I am saying from the heart… For the greater interest of the country, I am ready to sacrifice my life, my party. I am ready to sacrifice everything,” she said at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protest at Jantar Mantar which was attended by several opposition leaders.
