(UNI) To sharpen their political edges to take on the BJP in the crucial Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Mahagathbandhan comprising SP, BSP and RLD are likely to participate in the opposition rally called by Trinamool Congress chief and west Bengal chief minister Mamta Banerjee in Kolkata on January 19.
SP sources here on Thursday confirmed that party president Akhilesh Yadav along with party’s vice-president Kironmoy Nanda would attend the opposition rally to be held at the Brigade ground in Kolkata on Saturday.
However, there are reports that BSP chief Mayawati could also attend the opposition unity rally along with RLD chief Ajit Singh. But if they do not attend, then their representatives, Satish Chandra Mishra of BSP and Jayant Choudhury of RLD will go to Kolkata.
