In another statement, Kakoli said, “… Things have been getting from bad to worse, and I have been with Mamata Banerjee for 40 years… It is useless to say that just because she is not in power in West Bengal, I have left. It is not that… In the last 3-4 years, the pressure was too much on the government officers to work according to the whims and fancies of certain leadership… We want to work for the development of the state and for the national interest and the safety and security of the nation. That is why we want to work separately.”
