Deb also flayed the Trinamool for its failure to give a befitting reply to Congress leader and Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh who Tuesday ruled out any alliance with its former ally and also accused it of "flirting with the BJP".
"I am amused at the Trinamool leaders' banal reply to Ramesh's jibes. We could not find any aggression in the replies by the Trinamool whose leaders are known for spitting venom. Perhaps the Trinamool has realized it could not have come to power in Bengal without allying with the Congress," said Deb.
With few of Trinamool parliamentarians speaking against their own party and its Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh suspended for being "anti party", Deb claimed that all was not well within the Trinamool.
