West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is working to get anti-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders to attend a joint rally in Kolkata in January 2021, similar to the ‘United India’ public meeting held ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and NCP chief Sharad Pawar spoke today and discussed what they called the BJP-led central government's attempts to misuse its powers to destabilize opposition-ruled states, a senior Maharashtra leader said.

Nawab Mallik, a spokesperson of Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party said Mamata Banerjee spoke about the centre targeting her government ahead of polls in Bengal, mainly with reference to three senior police officers being ordered to report to Delhi after an attack on BJP chief JP Nadda's car near Kolkata recently.  "Sharad Pawar and Mamata Banerjee discussed how the BJP is trying to destabilise Bengal, withdrawing government officials at will and infringing into the state's rights. The way the BJP is misusing central agencies is not right," Nawab Mallik told before media.

"Mamata Banerjee and Sharad Pawar will hold meetings with other national leaders too. Mr Pawar will go to Bengal if needed," he said.
