KOLKATA: West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool supremo, Mamata Banerjee, who has upped her ante against the UPA-II at the centre, strategically skipped the mega third-time swearing-in ceremony of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, even though she recently praised the Gujarat government's development programmes.
The chief minister organized her three-day north Bengal visit on the day of the swearing-in and found a reason to excuse herself from Modi's invitation to Ahmedabad.
For Mamata, even though she has been seeking an early election, it wouldn't be proper to be seen hobnobbing with Modi ahead of her crucial panchayat elections given her huge Muslim constituency.
A Trinamool Congress leader said, "Nobody knows if the Lok Sabha will be preponed. But, didi does know that she must face her electorate in April. So, any premature move on the Modi alliance can backfire."
Trinamool Congress leaders are not willing to seriously consider the fact that Mamata had called leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, seeking her support in a no-trust motion against the UPA government.
The party, in fact, is still not admitting that any such phone call had taken place even as BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi had announced it in a meeting in Kolkata.
What is clear that Mamata, in the count-down to the panchayat elections in Bengal, is more focused on local voters rather than national. Hence, the safe distance with the saffron brigade.
