The Congress and the CPM trained its guns on Mamata Banerjee days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in an interview to Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, said that the Bengal Chief Minister "personally" selected kurtasand sent him as gifts. While senior Congress leader Raj Babbar said he wondered how the Trinamool chief knew the "size of Modi's kurtas", CPM General Secretary Sitaram Yechury alleged that there was a secret pact between Bengal's ruling party and the BJP, and "kushti (wrestling) in Bengal and dosti (friendship) in Delhi" won't work.
