“This family has to come together to fight Modi. Mamata is the one who has given fight to Narendra Modi and his juggernaut,” he said.
The former Goa chief minister said “Mamata formula has won in the West Bengal.”
“She has been able to stand up.. she is a street fighter…,” said the 70-year-old leader.
