Arvind Kejriwal meets Mamata Banerjee ahead of I.N.D.I.A bloc meeting

New Delhi: A day before opposition INDIA bloc meeting, AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee here on Monday.

Kejriwal did not comment on the discussions at the around 45-minute meeting at the South Avenue residence of TMC MP and Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee.

Kejriwal is also likely to meet former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray later in the evening.

A meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) is scheduled to be held in Delhi on Tuesday.

The alliance's proposed meeting on December 6 was postponed after several top leaders including Mamata Banerjee, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav expressed inability to attend.

Earlier on the day, Banerjee said the prime ministerial candidate of the alliance will be decided after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, emphasising that all the issues including seat sharing will be ironed out by the alliance partners to defeat the BJP.

Kejriwal is scheduled to go to an undisclosed place to attend a 10-day Vipassana meditation course from Tuesday.
