Troubled by the crackdown in the presidential election and the action of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the opposition is once again trying to unite. It will be initiated by West Bengal CM and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee. She is going to Delhi for 5 days. On his initiative, Congress President Sonia Gandhi, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Telangana Rashtra Samithi's KCR, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, and DMK leader MK Stalin can come on one platform. These parties have around 125 MPs in the Lok Sabha.

 

Mamta will meet TMC MPs in Delhi on Wednesday. Will meet leaders of other parties the next day. He is to meet Sonia on Friday. On Saturday, Mamta will meet the Chief Ministers of Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Punjab.

 

A list will also be made public on the same day. Sources say that this list will be of those leaders, whose action by the investigating agencies against them stopped after they joined the BJP or agreed to indirect help. At the same time, according to TMC sources, Mamta was on the backfoot with the money recovered in the ED raid at the close of the minister and TMC founding member Partha Chatterjee in the teacher scam.

 

Mamta became aggressive with the government

 

After the presidential election saw a crack in opposition unity, speculations were rife that Mamata was distancing herself from leading opposition unity and her stance on the Modi government was going to soften, but instead the reverse.
