Mamata hints alliance with CPI-M to stop BJP
Mamata Banerjee in an interview to 24 Ghanta news channel said: "If there is a proposal there can be talks."
Mamata said if she is approached she will consider it adding that no one is untouchable in democracy.
In the last Lok Sabha polls, BJP had got about 17 percent votes in West Bengal and even a parliament seat.
Speaking on the Lalu-Nitish Kumar alliance in Bihar that halted the BJP in Bihar, Mamata said the two should have come together much before and it there was an alliance in the Lok Sabha polls, BJP could have been stopped.
"No one is untouchable in politics," she said, congratulating the Bihar leaders for joining hands against the BJP.
On the Saradha scam in West Bengal, she said she is paying the price of the CPI-M legacy and also alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is being used for political reasons.
She slammed the BJP saying it is polluting politics and ignoring leaders like Atajli, L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi.
