The moment reports of Modi going soft on Mamta and her govt spread, the Muslims of the state got suspicious of the real intentions of Mamata Banerjee.
Mamata Banerjee's initial response of trying to deflect questions on possible alliance with Modi didn't help matters either and the chorus got shriller for Mamata a to take a clear stand on post-poll alliance with Modi.
When Mamata realized that the community was getting restless, she came out with a denial on any kind of alliance with Modi in future. But the damage was done and some Muslim religious leaders started casting aspersions on her real intentions.
A worried Mamata was trying her best to quell the fears of the Muslim community and then came the shocker from Narendra Modi.
A common man may be feeling a bit surprised over sudden change of tack by Modi but political observers can't desist from reading between the lines.
Is it aimed at helping out Mamata Banerjee before crucial Lok Sabha elections?
