| After the FDI, the pension bill and the Lokpal, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Congress seem to be heading towards another confrontation. And this time the issue is Ms Banerjee seeking to rename Indira Bhavan, a building named after the former Congress Prime Minister, in Kolkata's Salt Lake. On Tuesday, the Youth Congress held a demonstration in protest as the West Bengal chief minister lashed out.
Now, barely a day after the fairly public fracas, the Youth Congress is planning a rally against the state government to protest low paddy support prices for farmers in the state.
Ms Banerjee reacted angrily to the protest yesterday, saying the Congress was working in tandem with the Left against her party. "Congress is protesting against renaming Indira Bhavan but they never protested when Indira Bhavan became Jyoti Bhavan, CPM's party office, during Jyoti Basu's regime for 34 years. Every day they are working with the CPM to block roads. Together they are slamming us every day, but I have never used strong words against Manmohan ji or Sonia ji," said Ms Banerjee.
While Ms Banerjee continued to breathe fire against the state Congress, the Congress high command downplayed the differences.
