New Delhi. Seeing the continuing plight of the Congress, the party’s working president Sonia Gandhi, surrounded by the investigation of the ED, seems to have made up her mind to surrender in front of West Bengal CM and TMC President Mamta Banerjee. This is being said because, on Saturday, when Mamta wrote a letter to the leaders of 22 opposition parties asking for a consensus on the issue of presidential election, Sonia immediately accepted it. Sonia did not accept only Mamta’s proposal. He also called Mamata Banerjee and NCP Chief Sharad Pawar. According to Congress sources, Sonia told Mamata and Pawar that this is the time to rise above differences and Congress will work with all opposition parties to save the country.
According to Congress sources, seeing the condition of the party deteriorating continuously, Sonia Gandhi had passed a resolution in the three-day Chintan Shivir in Rajasthan that Congress is ready for the alliance. Now Sonia Gandhi does not want to sabotage the unity of the opposition by fielding a Congress candidate for the presidential election. Congress leaders have understood that without derailing the BJP to put itself back on track, it is not going to work. For this reason, Sonia has accepted Mamta’s offer immediately. Let us tell you that Mamta has called a meeting of opposition leaders in Delhi on June 15. For this, he supported Sonia Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, Pinarayi Vijayan, Naveen Patnaik, K. Has written letters to 22 leaders including Chandrashekhar Rao, MK Stalin, Uddhav Thackeray, Hemant Soren and Bhagwant Mann.
The term of current President Ram Nath Kovind is set to end on July 24. In such a situation, the Election Commission has fixed July 18 as the date of voting for the election of the new President. Apart from BJP, the opposition has not even opened its cards so far. The BJP has a majority in the Parliament out of a total of 772 members. NDA government is also there in most of the states. Along with this, Andhra Pradesh CM Jaganmohan Reddy and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik have also been helping BJP in a big way. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes are on how much Mamta’s chariot of opposition unity can run.
