“We did not send the copies of the three parties on principle. We are ready to talk to all those who are interested in joining our Front. We can even make changes in the draft CMP, if desired by any particular party,” said Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee at a press meet today.

Mamata added that she had no problem in accommodating Left parties like the CPIML (Liberation), SUCI, RSP and the Forward Bloc. “We are gathering under one umbrella with a view to fight the CPM. We are not against Leftism but are against the Left Front rule,” Mamata said.

Extending support to FB’s demand for withdrawal of all cases against their supporters at Dinhata in Cooch Behar district, Mamata said: “They did that to us also. It’s their police and their party cadre who commit crimes but they put those ones who suffer in the dock.”
