New Delhi: Gandhian activist Anna Hazare and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee addressed a press conference in New Delhi today. In his address, Anna said he supported Mamata Banerjee's ideas, but not her party, the Trinamool Congress.
Here are the highlights:
Mamata Banerjee:
Here are the highlights:
- I support Mamata Banerjee's thoughts about society. I have not supported her party
- For the first time there is a politician like that so I am supporting her
- She could have had a comfortable life as Chief Minister but she stays in small house and takes no car
- I have always placed country before self. In Mamata Banerjee, I found another person who thinks like me
- Mamata Banerjee is the only chief minister who responded to my letter where I had outlined 17 issues of national importance
- I had sent my 17 points to Arvind Kejriwal as well, but he never responded
- Didi is one person who understands that without sacrifice India can't progress. I support her ideology.
- We can't progress unless we think of the development of villages
- Gram Sabhas will be empowered
- No one brought right to recall, right to reject
- In our country rivers, water bodies are sold. Must stop exploitation of rivers, this isn't progress, it's destruction.
- I will also support about 100 independents
- I will neither support Narendra Modi or Arvind Kejriwal, nor oppose them. I'll continue my work.
Mamata Banerjee:
- I am grateful for Anna's wishes. I came to Delhi only because of him.
- We need a change at the Centre
- I'm not doing this for love of power. My party doesnt have 5 cr in funds
- I only have two people to run my Facebook page
