A day after she expressed willingness to work with arch rival Communist Party of India-Marxist on the Centre's demonetisation of high-value currency notes, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today called the left partys general secretary, Sitaram Yechury, urging him to wage a united fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party and its anti-people policies.

Banerjee later said she spoke to leaders of other parties too.

"Today, I spoke with several political leaders regarding a joint movement and to meet Rashtrapati ji together," Banerjee said.

"Let us all fight this together to give relief to common citizens, poor & stop this financial anarchy," she said.

A senior CPI-M leader, however, gave her a rebuff, describing the call as a 'desperate call' to save her own party leaders who were allegedly involved in corruption.
