Buoyed by Rajasthan’s 3-0 results in its favour, the Congress doubled up its efforts to galvanise opposition unity for 2019 Lok Sabha elections on Thursday by calling meeting of 17 opposition parties. The meeting saw sworn enemies CPM and TMC coming together.  

Presiding over the meeting where BSP was the only exception, Sonia Gandhi asked all parties to come together and adopt a “common approach and strategy both in and outside Parliament.”

Sources said the parties were in agreement with the idea thrown up by Congress president Rahul Gandhi that state politics should not stop them from converging together at national level against the common enemy.

Among opposition leaders who attended the meet were NCP chief Sharad Pawar, NC President Farooq Abdullah, RJD’s Jai Prakash Yadav, TMC’s Derek O’Brien, CPI national secretary D Raja and SP’s Ramgopal Yadav.
