Nandigram Candidate Abandons Her, Mamata Banerjee Pulls A Congress Surprise
As she lost her own candidate in the Nandigram bypoll, Mamata Banerjee said on Friday that her faction of the Trinamool Congress will now back the Congress nominee. She also noted she has the Congress's support in the fight to claim the name and symbol of the party she founded in 1998: "Rahul Gandhi called me yesterday. We are together. We will not surrender to the BJP."
