I have no greed for CM's post: Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata, Nov 4: The Railway Minister, Mamata Banerjee said that she has no greed for the post of West Bengal's Chief Minister and if Trinamool-Congress alliance comes to power in the 2011 assembly elections, then she will give full support to Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to take up the post.

"I have no problem if Pranab-da takes up the post of CM after the 2011 assembly elections. I have no greed for power or the post of chief minister," Trinamool Congress chief, Mamata Banerjee said in an interview to a private Bengali news channel on Nov 3.

"I am just fighting for the common people, who are fed up by the rule of the CPI-M," Banerjee said.

"If people want to see Pranab-da as the CM of Benagal, then I don't have any problem. I have even told him that my party will give him full support. He laughed and told me "have you gone mad?" It's up to the people to decide," Banerjee said.

"During the last civic elections Congress broke the alliance but still people have blessed us and have voted for us in the last civic elections," Banerjee added.
