Eye on presidential polls, Mamata Banerjee calls Opposition meet on June 15

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee has written to several opposition parties across the country, asking them to attend a 15 June meeting in New Delhi to decide on a common candidate for the upcoming presidential polls. This comes at a time when the Congress has already been reaching out to various parties to ascertain whether they are in favour of fielding a joint contender against the ruling National Democratic Alliance’s nominee.
