Desperate to thwart BJP in Bengal, Mamata Banerjee ready to join hands with arch rivals

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday reached out to opposition Congress and CPI(M) to join her fight against the BJP in the state but the two parties rejected her appeal saying her policies are responsible for the saffron party's growth.
Speaking during the debate on the governor's address in the state assembly, she said the BJP is trying to run a parallel government in the state and parties like the Congress and the CPI(M) should join hands with the TMC to fight against it.
