In her efforts to bring about a broad opposition unity, Mamata Banerjee met leaders on Wednesday, including UPA chief Sonia Gandhi. The meeting came against the backdrop of moves to form a federal front which was seen as “parallel” to Congress’s efforts to rally the opposition. The Mamata-Sonia meeting seems to indicate a convergence even as Trinamool seeks greater space for regional parties in states where they face BJP.
