Mamata Banerjee launches anti-CPM Front in West Bengal

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee launched an anti-CPM front in West Bengal. The front comprises 16 parties. However, Mamata kept both Congress and BJP out of the front. It is expected that Mamata will join hands with the Congress at a later stage and eventually dump the BJP.

Mamata's new initiative is certain to worry the CPM, which is already having a soured relationship with its alliance partners RSP and Forward Bloc.
