The meeting between Trinamool Congress supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with a 12-member Left delegation led by CPM’s Biman Bose on Monday has raised many eyebrows.
The meeting was a first of its kind in Bengal politics. During the meeting, Mamata Banerjee went out of her way to display warmth that the comrades must not have expected. Mamata was even seen escorting the Left delegation out after the meeting.
Though the CPM-led Left parties called on the Trinamool Congress supremo to appeal to her to check the violence unleashed by her party cadre against Left workers, it was during the hour-long meeting Mamata urged the CPM to check the trend of cadre of Left parties joining the BJP.
“Manage your own folks… you know my stand on communalism,” Banerjee told the Left delegation which was thoroughly stumped by Mamata’s new U-turn.
Moreover, it was Mamata who proposed a Coordination Committee to address the issues between the Trinamool and Left parties.
