TMC, CPM join hands to defeat Modi govt

March 04, 2015 16:00

TMC leader in the Rajya Sabha Derek O'Brien says a few party leaders had a late night dinner last week and worked out the formula to defeat the BJP motion of thanks to the President in the Rajya Sabha.

He added that the the Trinamool Congress and CPM have now come closer on one issue -- the anti Modi sentiment.

The TMC's main rival is not the CPM or the BJP but Mukul Roy who might have a tale to tell next week.

Roy like a disciplined solider voted against the government today, but may in fact have been bought over by the BJP, claim a few TMC leaders. Roy is out of favour with Mamata Banerjee after his name cropped up in the Saradha scam.
