In New Delhi, there is a merger between the Congress and the Trinamool CongressThe Trinamool Congress has completely denied the rumours. After the meeting of the opposition alliance, speculations about the conversation between Mamata Banerjee and Sonia Gandhi intensified. However, top Trinamool Congress sources clarified that there was no discussion between the two parties on a merger. The party termed the whole thing as a hoax.
Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee met Rahul Gandhi amid the ongoing political crisis within the party and the resignation of its leader. Earlier, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee met Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi at her residence in New Delhi. The two leaders had very cordial talks during the meeting. In the meeting, Mamata Banerjee stressed on the unity of the opposition and said that all parties must work together to solve various important issues.
This is the first closed door meeting between Mamata Banerjee and Sonia Gandhi after the elections. The meeting came after the recent election results and attacks on party workers. The meeting also discussed how alliance leaders should refrain from criticizing each other. Mamata Banerjee’s position is seen as a big change from earlierBecause he had earlier tried to form a separate platform by excluding the Congress. However, in the current scenario, the two parties have decided to work together, giving false to the merger rumours.
