Mamata Banerjee to meet rebel BJP leaders in Delhi today

Banerjee is expected to meet BJP leaders Yashwant Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha and Arun Shourie.

She has pitched in the united opposition by urging all parties to come together to defeat the BJP in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

The TMC supremo even urged all parties to support the political outfits which are dominant in respective states, a strategy Banerjee feels could uninstall the Modi government.

While asked about whether she would like to meet Congress Chairperson Sonia Gandhi during her four-day visit to Delhi, the WB CM said she will do once the veteran recovers from ailment.

In a later development reported by some newspapers, Sonia has expressed her wish to meet the TMC chief on Wednesday.
