Mamata Banerjee extends support to Akhilesh, asks him to stay strong

Extending her support to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee has wished him well and asked him to stay strong.

Kolkata: Extending her support to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee has wished him well and asked him to stay strong.

Sources said, Mamata spoke to Akhilesh last evening for about three minutes.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo`s support comes in the wake of Akhilesh`s suspension from the Samajwadi Party for six years.

Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav yesterday expelled Akhilesh and national general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav from the party for six years over indiscipline.

This move comes after Akhilesh had released a list of 235 candidates out of the total 403 seats for upcoming state Assembly Elections on Thursday, rejecting the list announced by Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday.

Akhilesh`s name did not figure in the first list. Mulayam said his son being the Chief Minister, can contest from any assembly seat he wishes to.
