Panaji, Oct 29 (TIWN) Whether it is the BJP, Congress or Aam Aadmi Party, dadagiri from Delhi simply cannot be tolerated, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Friday calling for greater unity and a strong union of states with a strong federal structure.

"Delhi's dadagiri has to stop. Goa should stand on its own feet and we will help it fight. We will make a system, mechanism (for it)," Banerjee said.  When asked which party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Congress or the Aam Aadmi Party, was the target of her dadagiri barb, Banerjee said: "It is for everyone, whoever does dadagiri."  Banerjee was addressing a press conference in Panaji on Friday, her first since her party decided to contest the upcoming Goa elections. She also lashed out at the culture where directives to run states emanate from Delhi.  "It is not that a laddoo will come from Delhi and Delhi laddoo, Goa will run," she said.  When asked about accusations of the TMC emerging as a party which will split the opposition vote and help the BJP win the Goa polls, Banerjee said: "Do you think that only when TMC comes, it will divide the votes? When other parties come you don't ask this question to them? Ask them the question this time, you have contested so many times, let Trinamool Congress contest this time, we will help everybody".
