The Congress and the BSP are yet to confirm their participation in the mega Opposition rally proposed by the TMC on January 19 ahead of the general elections. Leaders of various other Opposition parties have already confirmed their participation, TMC sources said.
West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee had earlier in the day said that she had a telephonic conversation with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and that he had assured his presence at the rally.
“Such a major meeting of Opposition parties has not happened in recent times,” she told reporters at the state secretariat.
