West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee called on her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday evening. The Trinamool Congress supremo's visit to Kejriwal followed her meetings with Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi earlier in the day and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday.
Mamata Banerjee is in the national capital for the past five days, during which she met a host of opposition leaders, including Congress' Kamal Nath and Anand Sharma on Tuesday.
Following her stellar victory in the assembly elections in West Bengal, where she faced the Bharatiya Janata Party in a do-or-die battle, Mamata Banerjee emerged as a prominent figure among the opposition camp's attempt at stitching together a unified anti-BJP coalition ahead of the 2024 general elections.
