Kolkata, April 01 Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today exhorted members of the Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad (TMCP), the students’ wing of her party, to gear up for the ensuing panchayat polls and said that the Left Front government’s rule in the state is numbered.

Urging the students to fan out to villages and small towns for highlighting the “misdeeds of the CPM”, Mamata said: “The days of the Left Front government are counted because the CPM is doing everything that is inimical to the interests of the common man. I urge all of you to make the most of the dissatisfaction of the people. Wage a battle against the CPI-M so that they don’t find any other way than to run away from West Bengal.”

Mamata made this appeal at a convention of TMCP at Mahajati Sadan that was attended by thousands of her party supporters. She also took the opportunity to slam the Congress. “The people will never forgive the Congress for its double standards. In Delhi they are running the government with support from the CPM but here they are fighting the Marxists. People have not accepted this,” she said.
