West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday evening met Congress president Rahul Gandhi and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi at the latter’s residence where they discussed the 2019 general elections and the NRC issue.
“I have invited them to come to Kolkata on January 19. We have a long relationship with Sonia Gandhi. We discussed NRC. We have had very good talks, we will take on the BJP together, we will field candidates wherever each one of us are strong, so that there is a one-on-one fight with BJP. Who will become prime minister is not important, I am just a worker. The goal is to defeat BJP. We will discuss about the prime minister (candidate) when the time comes,” Mamata said after the meeting.
