After BJP made inroads in the recent Lok Sabha elections, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reached out to arch-rival CPI(M) and Congress to fight against the saffron party together. The TMC supremo said during the West Bengal Assembly session that the two opposition parties have to join hands on common issues at the national level. Mamata Banerjee, known to be a staunch critic of the Left, came to power in the 2011 Assembly elections after ending 34 years of CPI(M) rule. In the Lok Sabha elections, BJP put up a good show in Bengal, getting 18 seats, while TMC got 22.
