Malda (CNST): Days after blaming the West Bengal
government for farmer suicides in the state, Congress on Tuesday said it does not want to bring disrepute to the ruling Trinamool Congress.
"Our
intention is not to defame them. We will be very happy if the
government works properly," West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee
president Pradip Bhattacharya told reporters.
Relations
between the two allies have soured in the last few weeks with the
Congress blaming the state government on farmer suicides.
On
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's seeking funds from the Centre, he said
it will not be the right thing to say that the central government has
deprived the state.
"The centre has a lot of sympathy with
the state's problem. But I do not understand why are people saying that
the Centre is not granting funds to the state," he said
