New Delhi: Isolated in her attempts to bring a no-confidence motion against the government, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee looked for a face-saver from her arch rivals, the Left. She said that her party is willing to support a Left-sponsored motion on the issue of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail. "I am ready to talk to any party on no-confidence motion. If the Left brings no-confidence, Trinamool is ready to support it," the West Bengal Chief Minister said in Kolkata today. She has had the bitterest rivalry with the Left in West Bengal.
Ms Banerjee also said that she had phoned the Communist Party of India's Gurudas Dasgupta to try and push for support. The CPI had initially said that it could support the Trinamool Congress if it brought the no-trust vote. "I have told Gurudas Dasgupta... the CPM has said we can't support Trinamool Congress' no-confidence motion. If that is the case, why don't you ask the CPM to table a no-confidence? We will support," Ms Banerjee said.
Mr Dasgupta reportedly told the Trinamool chief that any decision on the no-trust motion has to be taken only by the party. The Left parties are meeting tomorrow in Delhi to take their final decision on the issue.
