Kolkata: Sonia Gandhi’s special envoy reached Kolkata on Thursday to meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. After reaching here, this envoy met Mamata Banerjee for about 40 minutes. According to sources, this meeting lasted for about 40 minutes at the Secretariat Nabanno.
This emissary of Sonia Gandhi is none other than senior Congress leader P Chidambaram. As soon as he reached Kolkata, Chidambaram reached the secretariat to meet Mamata Banerjee. According to sources, he had come to discuss the India alliance with Mamata Banerjee. The former finance minister of the country came as an emissary of Sonia Gandhi, which has started speculations in the political circles.
Let us tell you that Mamta Banerjee had offered one seat to Congress in the Lok Sabha elections. But when no agreement could be reached on the seats, both of them decided to contest the elections separately. However, Congress was able to win only one seat while Mamta Banerjee won 29 seats. Mamta Banerjee was inclined towards India Alliance from the beginning, so she had said even in the middle of the elections that if needed, I can support them from outside.
After the election results, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that she will try to ensure that Modi is ousted from power at the Centre and the All India Alliance comes to power. She even said that PM Modi has lost all credibility, he should resign immediately. India has won, Modi has lost. The PM broke many parties and now the people have broken his morale. Modi is now falling at the feet of TDP and Nitish (Kumar) to form the government.
