TMC rally in Kolkata: Mamata reaches ‘United India’ rally; ‘lakhs’ at ground

Mamata Banerjee’s rally in Kolkata: Even as TMC-led anti-BJP ‘mahagathbandhan’ federal front gathers in Brigade Parade grounds, BJP attacked it saying it’s a ‘rally of unity of corrupt leaders’.

The day is finally here when top political leaders from ‘Kashmir to Kanyakumari’, in Mamata Banerjee’s words, descend upon West Bengal’s capital to attend Trinamool Congress’ ‘United India’ anti-BJP rally at Brigade Parade grounds here to present a united face of the Opposition ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections 2019. The rally is set to begin at 12 pm Saturday (today).

Dubbed as ‘historic’ by the TMC supremo, the machinations of the Mahagathbandhan or grand alliance for the General Elections have been set afoot with this mega rally. Leaders from more than 22 national and regional political parties which include a former prime minister and several union ministers, sitting chief ministers and former chief ministers will be present at the rally.
