"We decided to work together in and outside Parliament against the anti-people policies of the Centre. The people of Jharkhand are fully behind Mamata Banerjee," JVM(P) chief Babulal Marandi, who met the West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo told reporters after the meeting.
Trinamool Congress All-India general secretary Mukul Roy said that the two parties decided to have floor coordination in parliament.

The Trinamool Congress with 19 MPs in the Lok Sabha had withdrawn support to the UPA government on September 21 on the same issue.
