Time for BJP to pack up and go: Mamata after meeting oppn leaders


New Delhi, Mar 27 (Agencies): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar in New Delhi on Tuesday triggering speculations that she is trying to form an Opposition front against the incumbent BJP-led NDA government.

All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Banerjee also met Shiv Sena parliamentarian Sanjay Raut, later on Tuesday. Notably, BJP's embittered ally in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena has announced to break the alliance before the general elections 2019.

"When political people meet then of course they will discuss politics, there is nothing to hide in that. The Lok Sabha election of 2019 will certainly be very interesting," Banerjee told reporters after the meeting.

The TMC chief also came down heavily on the NDA-led Centre and said issues like demonetisation and bank frauds have affected people at the grassroot level and that it was time for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to "pack up and go".

She asserted that all opposition parties should work together to oust the saffron party.

She said, "We want all opposition parties to work together. We should help the strongest opposition party in state to fight the BJP. It should be one fight".

"People are against the BJP. I have travelled to all the states. I know the mood of the people. Issues like demonetisation, GST, bank fraud have affected people even at the grassroot level. The time has come for this BJP to pack up and go," TMC supremo added.

Banerjee also met Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) parliamentarian Misa Bharti, daughter of RJD chief Lalu Yadav.

She is also likely to meet former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

The West Bengal chief minister further said that she can meet Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav if they call her to Lucknow.

“Yes, Soniaji is not well right now and recovering. We will meet her once she is fine. Will certainly go if they (Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav) call us to Lucknow,” Banerjee said.

Mamata Banerjee will meet rebel BJP leaders Shatrughan Sinha, Yashwant Sinha and former Union minister Arun Shourie on Wednesday in a move which is being seen as a bid to assemble forces against the BJP, in the run up to the 2019 general elections.

    It is not easy to pack up. All opposition parties must sit to gether and first they must decide under who's leadership the next election should be fight. Otherwise it is difficult to overcome Modiji.

    This third front is temporary its only aim is to bring down Modi or keep BJP out of power. Once the objective is achieved, third front will turn into teen tukde (three pieces) as it happened in 1998.

    Mr John, I think you don't know the secret of learning. "Learn from failures".
    Accepting defeat is the slogan of lazy people. Failure must be the stepping stone for win. So fill those gaps that contributed failure and hope for the best.

    Oh, what a great success of Modi? For the 1 lakh Railway job vacancy, more than 2 crore job applicants. Modi has given the guidance to the jobless youths by the millions, create job and the first preference must be for pakovada mass production.

    How much increase in export? Where are the smart cities? Make in India, finally cow urine bottling in U.P. Modi success is too hard to ponder and comprehend!

    She is pitching for united opposition but in opposition all regional parties r relying on Congress, the head of which is Rahul Pappu Gandhi, whom she does she refuses to approach and other senior leaders like Deve Gowda too don't recognise him as leader. Therefore this plan is going to fall flat. Shathru , Yashwanth Sinha are worn out , out right useless characters. she is having meeting with all the retirees and spent forces ?!
