Kolkata Railways Minister Mamata Banerjee has denied any rift with the UPA government at the Centre and said her party Trinamool Congress will be in the government for five years.

“Such report is totally false and it has no relation with reality. A conspiracy is hatched by the CPM and a section of the media to drive a wedge in our coalition. But we will not allow them to succeed. We will be in the UPA government for five years,” she told a Bengali news channel here.

Categorically saying that she did not have any altercation with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the Cabinet meeting, Banerjee asked, “How do they (a section of media) know what happened in the Cabinet meeting?”

They have to prove it, she said.

The Trinamool Congress chief, however, said that her commitment was to the people and her party was against increasing price of petroleum products, fertiliser and disinvestment in Public Sector Undertakings (PSU).

“But to register protest does not mean going for a fight. It is also not that they (government) will always accept what we demand. They have listened to us on petro price hike issue,” she said.
