"Please seek the cooperation of everyone. Please announce there will be no politics for the next three months. If you become constructive, if you don't indulge in politics, others will follow you," Sinha said.
Alleging the ruling dispensation has kept Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar in the dark about the present situation, the senior BJP leader urged Banerjee to "sit with the Governor to discuss the crisis triggered by Covid-19 and cyclone Amphan and take Raj Bhavan into confidence."
Sinha also called upon Banerjee to seek more cooperation from the Centre to tide over the dual crisis of novel coronavirus and Amphan.
"By cooperation, I am not referring to financial help, I mean total cooperation," he said.
Alleging there was rising dissent among the lower level policemen in the present corona situation, he said "the CM is trying to crush dissent among police force by some top cops who are trusted by her. This will backfire unless she takes initiative to address grievances of police rank and file."
Sinha urged Banerjee to take the support of religious and charitable organizations in relief and rescue measures.
