Chandrababu Naidu to meet Mamata Banerjee for post-poll alliance talks in Kolkata
May-20-2019

A day after meeting Congress president Rahul Gandhi and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president will meet Banerjee as part of his efforts to unite opposition parties against the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha election results on May 23. During his interaction with Banerjee, Naidu is expected to brief her about his meetings with all political leaders in New Delhi over the weekend.

Two days before, he had met Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav. Dubbing the exit polls ‘gossip’, Banerjee on the previous day said that she doesn't trust such surveys as the ‘game plan’ is to use them for ‘manipulation’ of EVMs. Her remarks came after most exit polls forecast another term for PM Narendra Modi, with some predicting that the BJP-led NDA will get more than 300 seats, comfortably crossing the majority mark of 272 in the Lok Sabha.
