All these are ideological but we are united this time we must end the misrule of the Tarun Gogopi Government in the state." she has said.

Mrs Chakravarty, who has recently been posted a the party’s vice president in the national level observed that during the last elections in State, division of votes on mere 30 seats between the two parties was a major factor in allowing the Congress to form the government.
