At a Trinamool Congress rally in Esplanade Banerjee continued her tirade against the Union government on the issue of handling of Maoists. Banerjee’s act has created a ripple in the state Congress and a Congress delegation which met Singh at Raj Bhavan took up the issue with him.

Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was also invited in them.
Today, at the rally Banerjee slammed the UPA government for not consulting her before sending Central forces to Lalgarh and Jangalmahal.
“The Centre can talk to the state government on any issue. But, though we are the second largest constituent of the UPA government in Delhi, the Union government did not bother to consult us before sending its forces to Jangalmahal,” Banerjee told the gathering.
