Kolkata: West Bengal Governor M K Narayanan on Monday said the Maoists had not responded to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee`s offer for talks.
"The Chief Minister has given them an offer for talks but they have not responded," the Governor told reporters on the sidelines of a function in the city. "Let’s wait and see what happens," he added.
The Governor`s comment came shortly after the Chief Minister, at a rally in Singur, gave an ultimatum to the Maoists asking them to choose between talks and killings. "If you will kill and then want negotiation, the two cannot go together and you have to decide your way," she said in a stern message to the Maoists.
