With just a few months left for the West Bengal Assembly elections, Trinamul Congress chief and railway minister Mamata Banerjee met UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Thursday to discuss not only the political situation in the state, but also the violence allegedly unleashed by the Left cadres in the state.

But the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamul Congress, for sure, will not allow this to happen given the party’s policy against any forcible land acquisition.

Ridiculing former RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan as an “archaeological creature in the Saffron camp”, the Congress on Thursday rejected his reported deregatory remarks on party president Sonia Gandhi with contempt and asked party men to stage protest against such comments with all the might they posses.

The BJP and RSS are upset with former Sangh chief K.S. Sudarshan for his remarks on the Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Maintaining a safe distance from former RSS chief’s remarks, the BJP on Thursday said Mrs Gandhi was a democratically elected leader and should be “treated with respect”.
