Mamata threatens UPA with no-trust vote

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Monday indicated that her party may bring a 'no-confidence motion' against it in the next Parliament Session. She also appealed to various political parties to support it.

While addressing a huge gathering of TMC workers she said, “You are at Jantar Mantar because you are Janta(Common man). When Janata is sad, when Janta faces price rise, our success is on taking every one together and fight against it.”

Claiming that the government is angry because she has come to Delhi to protest, she said, “Everyone has the right to come to Delhi. I don't know why the government is angry. In a democracy we can hold a rally anywhere.”

“The government should be of the people, by the people and for the people. But your government is of you, by you and for you. Bring CBI if you want to take me to jail, I will go to jail. I will die fighting,” she added, while attacking the government.

Meanwhile, a photographer disrupted the meeting and she asked the police to remove him from the venue and said I had information that the people will be planted to disrupt the meeting.

Mamata further said, “The government does not enjoy the confidence, it has limited the number of LPG cylinders and increased diesel prices, if I support this government our struggle will stop. I don't need ministry I need country. My duty is not to save the government bu to save the country.”

Targeting the government over FDI in retail she said, “Nearly 50 crore people are associated with small and big retail business in India, they will be affected due to FDI in retail. Moreover, in the US big retailer are supposed to procure 60 pc goods from within the country but this government has even taken away the clause of 30 pc procurement from within the country.”

In the bid to take the reach of her party and her movement across the nation, Mamata Banerjee has planed rallies in different states. Explaining her plans to the supporters she said, “ I am not in favour of “bandh” as it causes a lot of losses and affect the normal life. I will try to go to all states, we will do a 48-hour protest here on 19 and 20 November, we will do a rally in Lucknow on 17th November and on 2nd November we will do a meeting in Haryana. I will go to South India as well.”

Earlier, the convener of NDA Sharad Yadav extended support to Mamata Banerjee by sharing dais with her. Sharad Yadav said,  After farmers traders are the most honest people.  25 to 20 crore people are retailers and Manmohan Singh has locked stomach of these people. This is unprecedented.”
 
Threatening the UPA with a no-confidence motion, Mamata said, “I urge Mulayam Singh and other politicians to bring no-confidence motion against UPA government in parliament. This government is not working for people and should not remain in power.”

Mamata Barnerjee is also expecting that general election will take place in March next year.

Except all the TMC minister naming, Mukul Roy, Sudip Bandhyopadhay, Sultan Ahmed, Saugata Roy, Sisir Adhikary and CM Jatua, who resigned from their posts protesting reforms by the government, party president of North-East K D Singh, MLA from Manipur Kim, Shamsher Singh from Haryana, V M Singh from Uttar Pradesh were among others present during the rally.
