Mamata Banerjee blames 'some people' for confusion on Teesta

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today blamed "some people" for creating "confusion" on the Teesta water sharing issue and hoped that cordial ties between India and Bangladesh would continue.

"Some people created confusion on (Teesta water issue)... we maintained the best relations with Bangladesh and I hope India and Bangladesh will work together," Mamata said on the sidelines of National Development Council meet here. She also denied having any issues with the Centre over the Tinbigha corridor.

"There is no issue over the Tinbigha with our government. I am not informed about the Tinbigha issue. It is between India and Bangladesh government," she said when asked whether she is annoyed with the Centre on Tinbigha issue.While Mamata had declined to be part of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Dhaka last month, she was absent during the Bangladesh Prime Minister's visit to Tinbigha corridor on October 19. "We also have good relations with Bangladesh so question of differences (on Tinbigha and Teesta) does not arise," she said.Asked about her stand on the threat from Maoists, she said she is very much against bloodshed and wants them to join the mainstream."They are our brothers and sisters and they should come forward and join the national mainstream and whatever they want from the government we are willing to discuss. We will give them full package," she said.She said the option of discussion should be open in a democracy. We can discuss, we can negotiate, if they listen to us, then it is good. We do not want bloodshed or bloodbath. We do not encouarge killings."
