Mamata Banerjee again became active in national politics. She wrote a letter to Non-BJP ruled about the misuse of Central agencies by the Central government.
Mamata called for a meeting to discuss strategies to take on the BJP and commit to the cause of a unified and principled opposition that will make way for the “government that the country deserves”.
“As the opposition parties, it is our constitutional responsibility to hold this government accountable for their actions, to resist the stifling of voices of dissent,” the West Bengal chief minister said.
“I urge that all of us come together for a meeting to deliberate on the way forward at a place as per everyone’s convenience and suitability. The need of the hour is for all progressive forces in this country to come together and fight this oppressive force,” she added.
