New Delhi: Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar on Monday at Nabanna, the government headquarters in Kolkata.

The West Bengal CM said, “…But first of all, we have to give a message that we are united. I have said earlier too that I have no objections. I want BJP to become zero. They have become a big hero with media’s support and lies.”

“I have made just one request to Nitish Kumar. Jayaprakash ji’s movement started from Bihar. If we have an all-party meeting in Bihar, we can then decide where we have to go next,” said Banerjee.

Nitish Kumar’s deputy Tejawshi Yadav was also present at the meeting where the top leaders discussed the strategy to unite the Opposition to defeat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.

CM Mamata Banerjee stressed that there is no personal ego and they will move altogether against the BJP. She said, “We will go ahead together. We have no personal ego, we want to work together collectively.”

Talking to the press person, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said, “We have held talks, especially about the coming together of all parties and making all preparations ahead of the upcoming Parliament elections.”
