KOLKATA: Taking a jab at Mamata Banerjee, Union Minister Jairam Ramesh on Sunday asserted that Congress has not taken a VRS or ‘sanyas’ from the state and will not take unsolicited advice from anyone. “Congress is a political party and not an NGO. We have not taken (political) sanyas. The party has not taken VRS from the state,” he said at a panchayati raj conference here amid cheers from party workers who thronged the venue, Netaji Indoor Stadium, in large numbers.

“We are aware of the Lakshman Rekha. We will not cross the Lakshman Rekha. But the Congress will not take unsolicited advice from anyone,” he said while noting that Congress was with Trinamool Congress at the Centre as well as in West Bengal.

“We have been in political power at the Centre and in some states. The Congress is the only party whose flag flies in all villages of the country. We are in the opposition in some states. In Tamil Nadu, we have been in the opposition for 40 years, but our party flag flies high there,” he said. His comments came two days after Banerjee issued a fresh ultimatum to the Congress to decide whether or not it wanted to stay with the Trinamool Congress.

An angry Banerjee had made the remark irked by a protest rally by Youth Congress taken out from Hazra near her residence in South Kolkata against alleged attacks on party workers by Trinamool activists. Congress had then sought to play down her threat saying if there are any problems in the alliance, it will be sorted out. (PTI)
