Now our statement clarified the position.” Without naming any party, Banerjee had yesterday told a party meeting, “One party has held a meeting to hold the election in advance, though my information may not be correct. I have got the information. I am not going into details as to who were at the meeting. They deliberated on advancing the Lok Sabha election to 2013.”
“Anyday, we can face election. We have to remain ready”, she had said.
