'We Have No Personal Ego, Want BJP To Become Zero': Mamata After Meeting Nitish Over Oppn Front

Mamata Banerjee on Monday gave a crystal clear agenda for the opposition after meeting Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav. She said that they want BJP to become zero.

Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The road for the next year's general elections is not smooth for the opposition which has been trying to put up a strong united front to fight the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP). Meetings and discussions are already in progress between different parties at different levels. Going in the same direction, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday met Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav. At the joint press conference after the meeting, Banerjee gave a crystal clear agenda that they want 'BJP to become zero' and that there's no 'personal ego' in between.

"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. 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," the Bengal CM said.

She added, "All are together. All parties will work together to fight the BJP. We will go ahead together. We have no personal ego, we want to work together collectively."

Addressing the media after the meeting, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar said, "All parties must prepare together for the next Lok Sabha polls. Opposition parties need to sit together and strategies."

"We have held talks, especially about the coming together of all parties and making all preparations ahead of the upcoming Parliament elections. Whatever will be done next, will be done in the nation's interest. Those who are ruling now, have nothing to do. They are just doing their own publicity. Nothing is being done for the nation's development," the Chief Minister further said.
