Communist Party of India (Marxist) state secretary Mohammad Salim has hit out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and BJP at the same time saying that while the saffron party is busy finding what's beneath Gyanwapi in UP, Qutub Minar or Taj Mahal, if they would dig up Mamata and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee's house, then they would found money, gold everywhere.
In a statement, Mohammad Salim further said that the BJP will not do this to unearth the truth as they are only interested in bringing religion to the fore. The CPM leader made this statement during campaigning for Dhupguri by-elections.
Earlier today, Mamata Banerjee attended the I.N.D.I.A. bloc meeting in Mumbai to brainstorm Opposition's alliance strategy to take on Modi-led BJP in the next year's Lok Sabha elections.
The sources added that during the informal meeting on Thursday night, Minister Mamata Banerjee informed the leaders that she was battling the BJP all alone in her state and if she is given an opportunity then she can lead in the role of convenor.
The two-day third meeting of the I.N.D.I.A. alliance took place here with 63 leaders from 28 parties participating. They discussed several issues to take on the BJP in next year's crucial Lok Sabha polls.
