West Bengal leader of Opposition Suryakanta Mishra today charged Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with trying to be more Leftist than the Leftists.
"We have been noticing that she (Banerjee) is trying to be more Leftist than us Leftists," the CPI(M) leader said while responding to charges levelled against the former Left Front government in the state by the chief minister earlier in the day.

"She has displayed this attitude during the FDI in retail controversy," he said. Alleging that she was not practising what she was preaching on other issues, Mishra said "when we brought a motion in Parliament against price rise, she voted with the Congress. "She did the same in case of FDI in insurance sector," he claimed.
