AICC President also targeted Mamata of using the same tactics of Left Fronts. "Aapne salon CPM ko dekha, phir aapne Mamata ji ko chuna, jo atyachaar CPM ke samay hota tha, wahi atyachaar Mamata ji ke samay mein ho raha hai. Us waqt ek sangathan ke liye sarkar chalai jati thi, aaj ek vyakti ke liya chalai jati hai ( For years you have seen Communist Party of India (Marxist), then chose Mamata but the problem you had faced during CPM, that same thing is happening in Mamata's government. That time, the government was for a group, now the government is for one person)."
