Trinamool to hit streets to oppose Tuesday's strike

Trinamool to hit streets to oppose Tuesday's strike

Kolkata, Sep 4 (PTI) Trinamool Congress workers will hit the streets to oppose the 'bandh politics' of Left parties who were backing a nation-wide industrial strike on Tuesday called by the central trade unions, party chief Mamata Banerjee said here today.

"We will take out processions and hold meetings on Tuesday to protest the strike, but will not go for confrontation," Banerjee, also the Railway Minister, told reporters.

A day's shutdown would have a crippling effect on the economy, she said, adding "CPI(M) here calls bandhs frequently. Such bandhs cause loss of crores of rupees when the state's debt burden stands at Rs two lakh crore."

"A bandh should not be called unless there is a serious compulsion. We are opposed to bandhs," she said.
