Editorial in party mouthpiece makes observation after Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee criticised Congress
Two days after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, questioning the existence of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) during her Mumbai visit, the Shiv Sena on Saturday said keeping the Congress away from national politics would mean strengthening fascist powers.
“Mamata held political meetings in Mumbai. Her politics is not pro-Congress. She eliminated the Congress, the Left and the BJP from Bengal. Despite that, playing politics by keeping the Congress out of national politics would mean helping fascist powers,” said an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamna.
The editorial further added that one can understand the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi wishing the end of the Congress as their agenda.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.

This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
