New Delhi: The Congress party is likely to take legal action against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for mimicking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during an interview with IBN18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai.
During the interview to CNN-IBN, the Trinamool Congress chief had said that the Congress party or the UPA government did not contact her on FDI in retail and diesel price hike - the two main reasons she had cited to withdraw support from the government.
Mimicking the Prime Minister, Mamata said the moment the coordination meeting started, Singh said - "We have this problem, that problem. So, we should discuss them some time." She added that the Prime Minister was acting "goody goody" in the meeting.
Reacting to it, Congress MP from West Bengal Deepa Dasmunshi said the party might take a legal action against Mamata for mimicking the Prime Minister.
The West Bengal Chief Minister, in the interview, also hit out at the Prime Minister saying he was not a grassroots leader as he was not a part of the Lok Sabha, where the MPs are elected by the people.
Mamata alleged that the UPA government does not consult its allies before taking any decisions. She said her party tried hard to support the government so that it completes its five-year term but it got difficult for her to "remain quiet all the time".
Not mincing words, the Trinamool Congress chief said the Congress is using money, muscle and mafia power to stay in power.
Mamata said the government has lost both the moral and democratic right to rule the country. A confident Chief Minister also said that in the next West Bengal Assembly Elections, the Congress won't be able to win a single seat in the state.
