Kolkata, Aug 09: Congress chief whip in Lok Sabha Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi today called upon Trinamool Congress to severe ties with BJP-led NDA within 24 hours and join hands with Congress. Dasmunshi, who was speaking at a meeting organised by the party to mark the anniversary of Quit India Movement, said that Trinamool Congress had aligned with the saffron party which was out to 'divide the country'.
He said that TC should severe ties with BJP and come out of the ruling NDA within 24 hours and join hands with Congress.
Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee,however, continued her tirade against the Congress.

Speaking at a programme at Haldia, Banerjee said that Congress only played 'second fiddle' to CPI-M and the party would never be able to be number one in the state.
The TC chief said that veteran Marxist leader Jyoti Basu had already said that his party would extend support to Congress in states other than West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura. ''In West Bengal also, CPI-M will covertly assist the Congress to defeat us'', she said.
