New Delhi: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Thursday hinted at snapping ties with the BJP-led NDA alliance.
She said that her party was trying to stand on its own in West Bengal.
"We are now with no one and are trying to stand on our own," Banerjee said at a Madrassa student felicitation programme in Kolkata.
She also said that in recent times her party was going ahead with agitation programmes on its own, be it Singur or Nandigram.
"In West Bengal our party is going alone," Banerjee said accusing the CPI-M of falsely dubbing her as communal.
"The CPI-M had even campaigned during the last Lok Sabha elections that our party was involved in the Gujarat riots. We fought against TADA, voted against POTA and had demanded the resignation of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for the riots," Banerjee said.
She, however, said that she had respect for BJP stalwart A B Vajpayee and had joined the NDA.
"As we were determined to fight the CPI-M in West Bengal. Our fight against CPI-M atrocities will continue."
Trinamool Congress had not supported NDA's presidential candidate and abstained from voting.
The party also did not disclose for whom it voted in the vice-presidential election.
